Can I use different paints than the ones provided?

While the kit includes paints, you are welcome to use other model paints suitable for plastic kits if you prefer a different finish or color scheme. Ensure compatibility.

Troubleshooting

Parts do not fit together properly.

Ensure you have the correct parts for the step and that no excess plastic (flash) remains on the edges. Gently trim or sand if necessary. Check for correct orientation of parts.

Glue is not holding parts.

Make sure surfaces are clean and dry before applying glue. Use the appropriate amount of glue; too much can weaken the bond. Allow sufficient drying time.

Paint is not adhering or looks uneven.

Ensure the model surface is clean and free of dust or grease before painting. Stir paints thoroughly. Apply thin, even coats and allow each to dry completely before applying the next.

Difficulty handling small parts.

Use tweezers or a hobby tool for picking up and placing small components. Consider using a temporary adhesive like "poster tack" to hold small parts while gluing.
