How long does it take to build?

Troubleshooting

Parts are difficult to remove from the runners.

Use nippers to carefully cut the parts from the runners, leaving a small amount of space to trim with a hobby knife.

Stickers are not adhering properly.

Use a cotton swab or a soft cloth to gently press the stickers onto the surface. You may use a setting solution for better adhesion.

Joints are too loose.

Apply a small amount of super glue to the joint pegs. Allow it to dry completely before reassembling.
