Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit together correctly
Ensure parts have been cleanly removed from the sprue and any excess plastic (flash) has been filed away. Check the instruction manual for correct part orientation. Minor sanding may be required.
Glue is leaving white marks
This is often 'frosting' caused by excess glue. Use glue sparingly and allow it to dry completely. For visible marks, sometimes a small amount of paint can cover it.
Paint finish is uneven
Ensure the model surface is clean and free of dust before painting. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next. Consider using a primer for better adhesion and a smoother finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly: This is a model kit requiring assembly. Parts are typically molded in plastic and need to be cut from sprues, cleaned, and glued together. Following the included instruction manual is crucial for proper assembly.

Adhesives: Model cement or glue designed for plastic models is required for assembly. Ensure good ventilation when using adhesives and paints.
Care: Once assembled and painted, the model should be handled with care to avoid damaging delicate parts or chipping paint. Display in a location away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or dust to maintain its condition.
