Troubleshooting

Parts do not fit together correctly.

Ensure you have correctly identified the parts according to the instruction manual. Check for any excess plastic (flash) on the sprue connection points and carefully trim it away. Sometimes, a light sanding of the contact surfaces can help.

Adhesive is not bonding parts.

Verify that you are using the correct type of adhesive for plastic models (e.g., plastic cement, not super glue unless specified for certain small parts). Ensure surfaces to be joined are clean and free of dust or paint.

Small or delicate parts break during handling.

Use fine-tipped tweezers for handling small parts. Apply adhesives carefully and allow sufficient drying time before manipulating the assembled section. Consider assembling more robust sub-assemblies first to provide a stable base.

Paint finish is uneven or streaky.

Ensure paints are thoroughly mixed before application. Use thin coats rather than one thick coat. If airbrushing, maintain consistent pressure and distance. If brush painting, use a good quality brush and smooth, even strokes.
