FAQs
What tools do I need to build this kit?
You will need sprue cutters, a hobby knife, plastic model glue, paints, brushes or an airbrush, and sandpaper or files.
Can I use different types of glue?
Yes, but use plastic model glue designed for polystyrene plastic for the main kit parts. For the 3D-printed resin parts, you might need CA (cyanoacrylate) glue.
What kind of paints should I use?
Acrylic or enamel paints are suitable. Check the instructions for recommended paint colors.
Where can I find additional information or build guides?
The kit's manual provides detailed instructions. You can also find online build guides and forums dedicated to scale modeling.
How do I apply the decals?
Cut out each decal from the sheet, dip it in water, and slide it onto the model surface. Use decal setting solutions to help them conform to the details.
What if a part breaks during assembly?
Use plastic model glue to reattach the broken part. If the break is severe, consider using a small piece of plastic to reinforce the joint.
Troubleshooting
Parts don't fit together.
Double-check the part numbers and ensure you're using the correct parts. Dry-fit the parts and trim any excess plastic with a hobby knife or file.
Decals are silvering.
Apply a gloss coat before applying decals. Use decal setting solutions to help the decals conform to the model's surface.
