Troubleshooting

Plastic warping after painting

Ensure paints and thinners are compatible with ABS plastic. Avoid excessive heat during the painting or drying process.

Difficulty attaching details

Use Tamiya-specific plastic cement or CA glue (super glue) designed for ABS. Ensure parts are properly aligned before bonding.

Paint adhesion problems

Thoroughly clean and degrease the ABS surface before painting. Use a primer specifically designed for plastic models to ensure good adhesion.

Cracks appearing during assembly

Handle the ABS parts with care. If cutting is required, use a sharp hobby knife or specialized modeling saw. Do not force parts together.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
