Troubleshooting

Shells are difficult to handle or place.

Use tweezers or fine-tipped tools to handle and position the shells. Consider using a small amount of adhesive to temporarily secure them while positioning.

Paint does not adhere well to the brass.

Ensure the shells are clean and dry before painting. Use a primer specifically designed for metal surfaces to improve paint adhesion.

Shells appear out of scale.

Double-check that you are using the correct scale (1:35) for your model kit. Ensure the shells are placed proportionally in relation to the tank.
