Troubleshooting

Parts don't fit together correctly.

Ensure you are using the correct parts according to the instructions. Trim any excess plastic with a hobby knife, and double-check alignment before gluing.

Decals are not adhering properly.

Use decal setting solution to soften the decals and help them conform to the model's surface. Apply gentle pressure with a cotton swab to remove air bubbles.

Paint is running or not adhering.

Ensure the surface is clean and primed. Apply thin, even coats of paint and allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next one.

Instructions are unclear.

Consult online forums or model-building communities for additional tips and clarification. Review the illustrations carefully.
