Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit together easily
Ensure you are using the correct parts for the step and that they are oriented correctly. Check for any minor molding imperfections on the connection points and gently clean them if necessary.
Model feels fragile or parts are loose
Double-check that all connection points are fully snapped together. If a part is persistently loose, a very small amount of plastic cement (use sparingly and carefully) might be considered, though this deviates from the snap-fit intention.
Paint or decals are damaged
For minor scratches, careful touch-up with model paints in the appropriate color may be possible. For significant damage, professional restoration or replacement of the part may be necessary.
