No prior knowledge of construction techniques and special setups needed. ¾" scale model kits that faithfully duplicate real wood frame structures. All wall framings can be done right on the working drawings provided. Instructions written in short, simple language explain how each piece of lumber serves a particular purpose in the wall frame according to building codes and more. The ¾" scale lumber is cut to a tolerance of thousandths of an inch. Lumber provided in standard dimensions of 2x4, 1x6, 2x6, 2x8, 4x4, etc., is the same kind used by building contractors in standard lengths as supplied by lumber yards. Kits also include custom-designed miter jig, cutting tools, tape measure, nails, glue, layout pencil, and a work base that doubles as a display base when a kit is completed.
Modern’s exclusive refills include the same quantity of precut sizes of balsa as in the original kits, along with replacement pins and styrofoam base (no instructions or scale drawings).

Same home layout as KIT1000, with truss roof system.
