What colors are the paragliders?

Can I paint these figures myself?

How should I attach the figures to my layout?

It is recommended to use a small amount of model glue or adhesive putty to firmly attach the figures to your desired location on the layout.

Troubleshooting

Figure won't stay in place.

Use a small amount of model adhesive or adhesive putty to secure the figure to the base or terrain.

Paint appears uneven or has minor smudges.

This can be a characteristic of hand-painted items. For minor imperfections, a very fine brush with compatible model paint can be used for touch-ups by experienced modelers. Otherwise, embrace the unique handcrafted look.

Paraglider material seems delicate.

Handle the paraglider components with care during placement. Avoid bending or creasing the fabric elements.
