Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit together correctly
Ensure you are using the correct parts for the step indicated in the instructions. Check for any excess plastic (flash) that may need to be carefully trimmed with a hobby knife.
Glue is not holding parts securely
Ensure surfaces are clean and free of dust or grease before applying glue. Use the appropriate amount of glue; too much can weaken the plastic.
Paint finish is uneven or streaky
Apply paint in thin, even coats rather than one thick layer. Allow each coat to dry before applying the next. Ensure the brush is clean and free of debris.
Difficulty attaching small or delicate parts
Use tweezers for precise placement. Apply a small amount of glue to the part itself, not the receiving surface, and hold in place until set.
