Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit correctly
Ensure all parts are properly removed from the sprue and cleaned of any excess plastic. Check the instructions to confirm correct part orientation. Minor adjustments with a hobby knife or sandpaper may be necessary.
Plastic cement not bonding parts
Verify you are using a plastic cement designed for polystyrene models. Ensure the surfaces to be joined are clean and free of paint or primer. Apply the cement sparingly.
Paint finish is uneven
Ensure the model surface has been properly cleaned and primed before painting. Apply thin, even coats of paint rather than one thick coat. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Delicate parts break during assembly
Handle small and thin parts with caution. Use fine-tipped tools for manipulation. Consider reinforcing fragile areas with a small amount of liquid glue after initial attachment.
