Follow the adapter demonstration
Choose the guide for the style selected in your order. These steps cover the Vertical mount. For the Adjustable option, follow https://install.bp3dprintshop.com/products/917e818a-c479-4bbb-987b-a8c99ef65790 instead. Watch the original video above in full. With the aircraft supported, prepare and fit the set-side attachment as demonstrated. Pause to check orientation and engagement before moving on; the original written guide leaves these details to the video.
Choose the location and mark the cleat
Choose a location with room for the complete set and clearance from nearby objects. Use screws and, where needed, anchors suitable for your wall material and the combined weight of the mount and set. Follow the hardware manufacturer’s instructions for hole size and installation. Check for concealed services before drilling. Hold the mounting part in position, check its alignment with a level, and mark the holes. Allow clearance to lift the aircraft into position and seat it on the cleat.
Secure the wall cleat
Line up the mount with the prepared holes. Start the screws, check the alignment, then tighten gradually with a screwdriver until the mount is firm against the wall. Do not overtighten or bend the printed mounting points. If the mount moves or rocks, correct the installation before adding your set.
Place the aircraft on the cleat
Keep the aircraft’s weight supported while aligning its attachment with the cleat. Seat it in the direction shown in the video. Do not release the set until the connection is fully engaged and the aircraft is stable.
Check the finished display
Gradually release your support only after the set is fully seated and stable. Check that the wall mount, adapter, and brick connections remain secure. If anything shifts or loosens, remove the set and correct the problem before displaying it. Support the set whenever you adjust or remove it.
