Troubleshooting

Parts do not fit together precisely.

Ensure you have trimmed any excess plastic (flash) from the parts using a hobby knife or sprue cutters. Check that you are using the correct parts as indicated in the instructions.

Glue is not holding parts securely.

Ensure the surfaces to be glued are clean and free of dust or oils. Apply a small amount of plastic cement directly to the mating surfaces. Allow adequate drying time before handling.

Decals are difficult to apply or tear.

Apply decals to a smooth, glossy surface for best adhesion. Use decal setting solution for better conformity. Handle decals with tweezers and apply them gently with a brush dipped in water. Allow them to dry completely before moving the model.

Paint does not adhere well.

Ensure the model surface is clean and free of mold release agents before painting. Apply thin, even coats of paint. For best results, prime the model before applying final colors.
