Where can I find additional information or references?

How do I remove the parts from the sprue?

Use sprue cutters or a hobby knife to carefully remove parts from the sprue. Cut close to the part to minimize the need for clean-up.

Troubleshooting

Parts don't fit together properly.

Double-check the part numbers and ensure you're using the correct pieces. Trim any flash or excess plastic with a hobby knife.

Decals are not adhering.

Use a decal setting solution to soften the decals and help them conform to the model's surface. Ensure the surface is clean before applying decals.

Paint is clumping or not adhering.

Ensure paint is properly thinned. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat. Use a primer designed for plastic models.
