Troubleshooting

Parts do not fit together properly

Ensure you are using the correct parts as indicated in the instructions. Gently clean any excess plastic or mold lines that may be interfering with the fit. Test fit parts before applying glue.

Glue is not holding parts

Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before applying glue. Use a plastic cement specifically designed for model kits. Apply glue sparingly to avoid excess.

Decals are not adhering or are tearing

Apply decals to a smooth, glossy surface for best adhesion. Use decal setting solution to help them conform to details. Handle decals gently with tweezers and a decal setting solution to prevent tearing.

Paint finish is uneven

Ensure the model surface is properly primed before painting. Apply thin, even coats of paint rather than one thick coat. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a plastic model kit that requires assembly. It is recommended to wash parts in mild soapy water before assembly to remove any mold release agents. Parts should be carefully removed from the sprue using a hobby knife or sprue cutters. Assembly typically involves gluing plastic parts together using plastic cement. Refer to the included instruction manual for specific assembly steps.

Compatibility: This model is a standalone kit and does not interact with other electronic or mechanical products. It is compatible with standard hobby paints, glues, and finishing products designed for plastic models.

Care: To maintain the appearance of the assembled model, dust it gently with a soft brush or microfiber cloth. Avoid direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity, which can degrade the plastic and paint over time. Keep away from sharp objects that could scratch the painted surface.
