Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit together properly
Ensure all parts have been correctly trimmed from the sprue and any excess plastic removed. Check that you are using the correct parts for the step indicated in the instructions. Slight sanding of connection points may be necessary.
Glue is not holding parts together
Ensure the plastic surfaces are clean and free of dust or mold release agents. Use a plastic cement specifically designed for model kits. Allow sufficient drying time for each glued joint.
Kit parts are warped
Gently immerse the warped part in warm (not hot) water for a short period to make it pliable, then carefully reshape it and hold it in place until it cools and hardens. Avoid using excessively hot water.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Refer to the kit's manual for specific assembly order and recommended adhesives. Painting may be required to achieve the desired realistic finish.
