Troubleshooting
Parts don't fit together cleanly
Ensure all parts are properly removed from the sprue and any excess plastic (flash) is carefully trimmed and filed smooth before attempting to join.
Glue is leaving visible marks or fogging plastic
Use model-specific plastic cement sparingly. Apply to the joint area rather than over the entire surface. Allow glue to set properly before handling.
Decals are difficult to apply or position
Use decal setting solutions and softening agents. Ensure the surface is smooth and slightly wet before applying the decal, then gently squeegee out air bubbles and excess liquid.
Paint does not adhere well
Ensure the plastic surface is clean and free of dust or grease before painting. Apply a primer coat for better adhesion, especially when painting over plastic directly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is a plastic model kit that requires assembly. The process involves cutting parts from sprues, gluing them together, and painting. Specialized model building tools such as a hobby knife, sprue cutters, files, tweezers, and plastic cement are necessary. Paints and brushes are also required to achieve the authentic look based on the decal options provided.
