Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit together cleanly.
Gently sand or trim excess plastic with a hobby knife or file. Ensure no mold release agent residue remains.
Decals are not adhering properly.
Ensure the surface is smooth and clean. Apply a decal setting solution for better adhesion and to reduce silvering.
Small parts are difficult to handle.
Use hobby tweezers and a magnifying glass if needed. Consider assembling small sub-assemblies separately before attaching them to the main model.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This is an unpainted plastic assembly model kit. Setup requires hobby-grade tools such as a hobby knife, sprue cutters, files, and tweezers. Parts should be carefully removed from the sprues and cleaned of any molding seams. Assembly follows the included instructions, typically involving gluing parts together. Compatibility is primarily with other 1:35 scale model kits, figures, and vehicles to maintain a consistent scale in dioramas. Care involves storing the kit in a dry, moderate temperature environment to prevent warping. Once assembled and painted, the finished model should be handled with care to avoid damage to small details.
