Troubleshooting

Parts don't fit together properly.

Ensure you have cleaned up the parts and that no plastic is obstructing the connection. Re-examine the instructions to confirm correct placement.

Paint is too thick and obscures details.

Thin your paints with the appropriate thinner and apply multiple thin coats instead of one thick coat.

Model breaks during assembly.

Use the right type of cement. Allow the cement to dry fully before handling. If a part breaks, consider using super glue for repairs.
