Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit together properly
Ensure you have removed all sprue remnants and flash from the parts. Check the instruction diagrams to confirm correct part orientation. Minor sanding or trimming may be required for a precise fit.
Glue is not holding parts
Ensure you are using a suitable plastic cement. Check that surfaces to be glued are clean and free from dust or grease. Apply glue sparingly and hold parts together until the bond sets.
Decals are difficult to apply
Ensure the model surface is smooth and clean. Use decal setting solutions to help decals conform to surface details and adhere better. Cut decals closely to the printed design.
Paint finish is uneven
Ensure the model surface is properly primed before painting. Apply thin, even coats of paint, allowing each coat to dry thoroughly before applying the next. Use an airbrush for a smoother finish if possible.
