Troubleshooting
Parts don't fit together properly.
Ensure you are using the correct parts and have removed any flashing or burrs. Test-fit the parts before applying glue. If necessary, use a hobby knife or file to adjust the parts for a better fit.
Decals are not sticking.
Ensure the surface is clean before applying decals. Use a decal setting solution to help the decals adhere and conform to the model's surface. Apply a decal fixative to seal the decals after they are dry.
