The Web version has low-res pictures and that makes it smaller. If it helps any I built my K3 from that version of the assembly manual and the pictures are sufficiently detailed to determine what you're supposed to do.
There are two places where the pictures are of a different (older? newer?) version of the RF board (figs 56 and 58), but it's completely obvious what they're trying to show you (the important components were in the same location on my board as in the picture; it was two nearby components that were different). Fig 57 shows the components in the location that matched my board. There are pictures of a couple connectors that need to mate when you're attaching the front panel assembly to the RF board assembly that have plenty of resolution but the connectors themselves were harder to see on my boards than they were in the pictures (Fig 54). And it doesn't matter anyway because that step is difficult no matter what pictures they show you. There are some pictures very early in the process of locations of standoffs that aren't very helpful (figures 7 and 9) but it's because they don't give enough context, not because they aren't of sufficient resolution. If you refer back to the location of the mixer board and noise blanker board in figure 1 it will give you a clue where the standoffs go. Don't forget to check the site for an update after you get your K3. The one in the box (or the one you printed out today) may be older than the one on the Web site. Also don't forget to apply the errata.
