Ensure that the parts are properly aligned and that any flash or excess plastic has been removed. Use a hobby knife to carefully trim any obstructions. If needed, test fit multiple times before applying glue.

Clean the plastic surfaces with a mild detergent and water before painting. Use a primer specifically designed for plastic models. Apply thin, even coats of paint to avoid runs or pooling.
