Do I need to buy glue and paint separately?

Yes, paint and glue are not included in the kit and must be purchased separately. These are essential for assembly and finishing the model.

Is this kit pre-painted?

What scale is this model kit?

Can this model be motorized or modified for RC?

This kit is designed as a static display model. Modifications for motorization or RC control would require significant custom work and are not supported by the kit manufacturer.

Troubleshooting

Parts do not fit correctly.

Ensure you are using parts from the correct sprue and referencing the instructions carefully. Check for any excess plastic (flash) that may need to be trimmed or sanded.

Glue is not holding parts together.

Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before applying glue. Use an appropriate plastic cement for model kits. Allow adequate drying time for each joint.

Individual tracks are difficult to assemble.

Work on small sections of the track at a time. Ensure the pins or links are properly aligned before applying glue. Some builders find it easier to build tracks in sub-assemblies before attaching them to the model.

Paint is chipping or not adhering well.

Ensure the plastic surface is clean and free of dust or grease before painting. A primer coat can significantly improve paint adhesion. Use paints specifically designed for plastic models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
