Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit together correctly.
Ensure all parts are clean and free of excess plastic sprue. Check the assembly diagram carefully for correct orientation. Lightly sand edges if necessary.
Glue is not holding parts.
Ensure the plastic surfaces are clean and dry before applying plastic cement. Use the correct type of plastic cement for model kits.
