Setup, Compatibility & Care

To build this kit, you will need a dedicated workspace with good lighting. Essential tools include precision sprue cutters, hobby knives (X-Acto style), plastic cement, fine-grit sandpaper (800 to 2000 grit), and a variety of hobby paints.

Care instructions include washing the plastic sprues in warm, soapy water to remove any release agents before painting to ensure better adhesion. Once assembled, keep the model out of direct sunlight to prevent paint fading or plastic warping. Use only plastic-compatible glues to avoid melting the detail on the body parts.
