FAQs
How many stands can I build with this set?
This set includes parts to assemble three aircraft model stands.
What aircraft model scales are these stands compatible with?
The stands are compatible with scales 1/144, 1/72, 1/48, and 1/32.
Do the stands come pre-assembled or painted?
No, the stands come as parts that require assembly and optional painting.
Can I use these stands for models other than aircraft?
While designed for aircraft models, they may be adaptable for other small models depending on their size and weight, but compatibility is not guaranteed.
What tools are needed for assembly?
You will typically need a hobby knife or sprue cutters for removing parts, and potentially plastic cement for a permanent bond. Sandpaper may also be useful for cleaning up parts.
Are replacement parts available if I lose one?
Replacement parts are generally not offered directly by the manufacturer for individual components of model kits.
Can the stands be adjusted after assembly?
The arms and height of the stands are designed to be adjusted during the assembly process to accommodate different model sizes and desired poses.
Troubleshooting
Parts are difficult to fit together
Ensure parts are cleanly removed from the sprue. Lightly sand any rough edges if necessary. Refer closely to the assembly diagram for correct orientation.
Stand feels unstable
Verify that all assembly connections are secure and fully seated. Ensure the base of the stand is on a flat, level surface.
Paint is not adhering well
Ensure the plastic surfaces are clean and free of mold release agents before painting. Use a primer designed for plastic models for better adhesion.
Stand does not securely hold the model
Adjust the arms of the stand to best grip the model. For some models, a small amount of adhesive putty or a custom adapter might be necessary for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The ICM Aircraft Models Stands set (MPN: A001) requires assembly. Carefully cut out the plastic parts from the sprue. Following the included instructions, connect the pieces to form the stands. Painting the stands is optional but recommended for a more finished look; use plastic model paints suitable for your desired finish.
Compatibility: These stands are specifically designed for plastic aircraft models. They are compatible with the following scales: 1/144, 1/72, 1/48, and 1/32. Ensure your model's mounting points or underside are suitable for attachment to the stand's arms.
Care: To maintain the stands, dust them regularly with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the plastic or any paint applied. Store assembled stands away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to prevent warping or discoloration.
