Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin assembly, prepare a well-lit workspace and utilize a high-quality hobby knife to remove parts from the sprue frames. You will need model-specific plastic cement, fine-grit sandpaper for mold lines, and hobby-grade paint for the final finish. Keep the finished model away from direct sunlight to prevent decal fading or plastic warping over time. If dust accumulates, use a soft, dry brush to gently clean the surface, avoiding harsh cleaning chemicals that could damage the paint or finish.
