Troubleshooting

Parts do not fit together easily

Ensure you have removed all excess plastic ('gate') from the part using a hobby knife or nipper. Double-check that you are using the correct parts as indicated in the instruction manual.

Parts are difficult to separate from the runner

Use sharp model nippers and make a clean cut as close to the part as possible. If a part is stubborn, a second cut may be needed, but be careful not to damage the piece.

Model feels loose or unstable

Verify that all parts are fully seated and clicked into place. Some joints may benefit from a small amount of plastic cement for added rigidity, though this is not required for basic assembly.

Small parts are easily lost

Assemble the model in a well-lit area with a contained workspace, such as a tray or mat, to prevent small pieces from rolling away.
