Well, the kit came in the mail. I laid out the metal wall pieces to make sure I had everything:
I then bathed the parts in 100% vinegar in hopes it would etch the surface of the metal allowing the paint to stick better. I glued the wall pieces together with 5 minute epoxy. Since this building has 5 walls, it makes it much trickier to get everything all lined up and fitting correctly. Also, the metal wall sections were a little warped, so they had to be bent to fit, and have casting burrs filed off. I could have probably done a better job here, as some of the gaps had to be filled with epoxy.
I placed the glued up building on the layout to see how it fit:
