Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit together correctly
Double-check the part numbers against the instructions. Ensure no excess plastic (flash) is present on the sprue connection points; carefully trim with a hobby knife if necessary.
Glue is not holding parts together
Ensure the surfaces to be glued are clean and free from mold release agents or paint. Use an appropriate plastic cement or model glue and allow adequate drying time.
Small parts are difficult to handle during assembly or painting
Use hobby tweezers for gripping small parts. Consider assembling larger components first and attaching smaller, delicate pieces last. For painting, a simple painting handle can greatly improve control.
