Troubleshooting
Parts are not sticking together with the provided glue.

Chrome parts appear dull or have visible sprue marks.
Touch up sprue marks using a silver permanent marker or specialized chrome hobby paint.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Workspace Preparation: Clear a well-lit, flat surface and use a cutting mat to protect your tabletop.
Component Organization: Separate the molded parts by color/type before beginning. Keep chrome parts in a sealed bag to prevent scratching.
Painting: Use the included paintbrush to apply thin, even coats of paint to avoid brush strokes.
Adhesion: Apply the included glue sparingly using a toothpick or fine applicator to prevent melting the plastic surfaces.
Care: Clean the completed model with a soft, dry micro-fiber cloth to remove dust. Keep out of direct sunlight to prevent paint fading or plastic warping over time.
