FAQs
What age is this model kit recommended for?
This model kit is recommended for hobbyists aged 14 and above due to the small parts and the need for assembly and painting skills.
Does the kit include paints and glue?
No, the kit does not include paints, glue, or modeling tools. These must be purchased separately.
What is the scale of the figures?
The figures and accessories are in a 1:35 scale, which is a standard scale for many model kits.
Can I use other types of glue?
While plastic cement is recommended, super glue (cyanoacrylate) can be used for certain small parts or repairs, but it may not create as strong a bond on bare plastic as dedicated plastic cement.
Where are MiniArt models manufactured?
MiniArt models are imported from Ukraine.
What are the main components included in the kit?
The kit includes two milkman figures, milk cans, churns, milk bottles, and a wooden box.
Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit together cleanly.
Ensure all connection points are clean and free of plastic sprue remnants. Lightly sand or trim any excess plastic. Test fit parts before applying glue.
Glue is not holding parts together.
Ensure you are using an appropriate plastic cement. Check that the surfaces being joined are clean and free of paint or primer. Allow adequate drying time.
Difficulty in painting fine details.
Use fine-tipped brushes and thin layers of paint. A magnifying glass or lamp can aid in detail work. Ensure the model is primed for better paint adhesion.
