Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly is straightforward but requires a pair of side cutters to cleanly remove parts from the runners. Avoid twisting parts off by hand to ensure a smooth finish. For assembly, no glue is strictly necessary as the parts snap together, but you may want a pair of tweezers for applying the small foil stickers. To maintain the kit, display it away from direct sunlight to prevent plastic discoloration. If the joints become loose over time, avoid using harsh adhesives; instead, consider using a specialized hobbyist joint-tightener if necessary. When interchanging weapons with 1/144 HG kits, ensure the connection pegs are aligned properly to avoid stressing the plastic.
