Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, you will need a set of side cutters, hobby knives, fine-grit sandpaper, and model-grade liquid plastic cement. The kit is compatible with most standard enamels and acrylic paints designed for plastic models. Once assembled, store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade decals and distort delicate plastic components over time. Dusting can be done gently with a soft, synthetic brush.
