Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit together correctly
Ensure all sprue gates have been cleanly removed from the parts. Check the assembly manual to confirm you are using the correct parts for that step. Minor adjustments with a hobby knife may be necessary.
Glue is not bonding parts
Ensure the surfaces to be glued are clean and free of dust or mold release agent. Use a high-quality plastic cement specifically designed for polystyrene models.
Model feels unstable
Verify that all connections are secure and that enough glue has been applied. For heavier parts or joints that bear stress, consider using a stronger adhesive like super glue in conjunction with plastic cement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Assembly: This model kit requires careful assembly. It is recommended to wash all plastic components in warm, soapy water before assembly to remove any release agent. Use a hobby knife and clippers for precise part removal and clean-up. Refer to the included assembly manual for specific part placement and order of operations. Gluing plastic miniatures typically requires plastic cement for a strong bond.

Care: To maintain the model's appearance, store it in a safe place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For cleaning painted models, use a soft brush and gently dust them. Avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents, as these can damage the paint and plastic.
