Is this based on another kit?

Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit correctly
Ensure all sprue gates are completely removed and that the correct parts are being used according to the instructions. Minor sanding or trimming may be required for a better fit.
Decals not adhering properly
Ensure the model surface is clean and smooth. Apply a gloss coat before applying decals. Use decal setting solutions for better adhesion and to reduce silvering.
Glue marks visible
Use model-specific plastic cement sparingly. If excess glue is used, try to remove it carefully with a hobby knife or fine-grit sandpaper once dry. Allow paint to cure fully before assembly if painting sub-assemblies.
