Troubleshooting
Parts don't fit together properly
Ensure you have correctly identified and trimmed the parts. Check for any excess plastic molding (flash) that may be preventing a flush fit. Refer to the instruction diagrams carefully.
Glue is visible on painted surfaces
Use small amounts of glue and apply it precisely to the connection points. For visible glue marks, you may need to touch up the paint after assembly.
Decals are difficult to apply or tear
Ensure the surface is smooth and slightly glossy before applying decals. Use decal setting solution to help them conform to the model's surface. Handle decals with care using tweezers.
