Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning assembly, ensure you have a clean workspace and the following essential tools: a sprue cutter, modeling knife, fine-grit sandpaper, plastic cement, and a set of model paints. Work systematically through the instruction manual, test-fitting parts before applying glue to ensure a clean seam. Keep the kit away from direct sunlight after completion to prevent the plastic from becoming brittle or the decals from fading. Clean the parts with a mild soap solution before painting to remove any manufacturing mold release agents, which helps the paint adhere better.
