Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit together perfectly.
Check for leftover plastic sprue nubs and trim them cleanly with a hobby knife before attempting to glue.
Paint is chipping or flaking off the plastic.
Ensure you have washed the plastic parts with mild soap and water before priming to remove any manufacturing mold release agents.
