How to use

Inspect the parts and instruction sheet before starting. Remove parts carefully from sprues, clean mold lines and test fit components before applying adhesive. Follow the step-by-step instruction manual for the recommended assembly sequence, allowing adhesive to cure between stages. Apply primer and paint to achieve the desired finish, and add decals if supplied once the paint is fully dry. Handle small parts with tweezers and work on a clean, well-lit surface to improve precision.

Recommendations

Use model-specific plastic cement and enamel or acrylic model paints. Keep small parts and tools away from young children. Allow sufficient drying time for glue and paint, and follow safety instructions printed on adhesives and paint containers.
