Troubleshooting

Parts do not fit together properly

Ensure all mold lines and excess plastic (flash) have been carefully removed from the parts. Check that you are using the correct parts as indicated in the instruction manual and that they are oriented correctly.

Plastic cement is not bonding parts securely

Verify that you are using a cement specifically designed for plastic models. Ensure the surfaces to be joined are clean and free of paint or grease. Apply the cement to one surface only and hold the parts together firmly until the bond sets.

Paint finish is uneven or streaky

Ensure the model surface is clean and primed before painting. Use thin, multiple coats of paint rather than one thick coat. If airbrushing, maintain a consistent distance and pressure. If brush painting, use a quality brush and apply paint in smooth, even strokes.

Small parts break during handling

Handle small parts with tweezers and use a cutting mat to prevent them from rolling away. Ensure adequate drying time for glue before attempting to attach or handle delicate components.
