Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit together well
Ensure all parts have been cleanly removed from the sprue and check for any excess material. Test fit pieces before applying glue. Lightly sand connection points if needed.
Glue not holding parts securely
Confirm you are using PVA glue as recommended. Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before application. Apply glue evenly and hold parts firmly until the bond begins to set.
Model feels flimsy after assembly
Double-check that all connection points have been properly glued and that the structure is square. Consider adding small internal bracing if required for a specific aesthetic or enhanced durability.
Sail parts are difficult to attach
Refer to any diagrams provided with the kit. If rigging your own sails, plan the attachment points carefully before committing to glue. Consider using modeling clamps or pins for temporary holds.
