Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit correctly
Carefully check the part numbers against the instructions. Minor adjustments with a hobby knife or sandpaper may be required for a precise fit.
Glue is not holding parts together
Ensure surfaces are clean and free of dust or mold release agents. Use the recommended type of plastic cement and allow adequate drying time.
Paint application is uneven
Ensure proper thinning of paints and use appropriate brushes or airbrush settings. Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat.
Small parts are difficult to handle
