Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a clean workspace, a hobby knife, side cutters, and plastic cement. Avoid using excessive glue, as it can mar the plastic finish. Before painting, it is highly recommended to wash the sprue parts in a mild detergent to remove any mold release agents, ensuring the primer adheres correctly. Use high-quality acrylic or enamel modeling paints matched to historical specifications. For long-term care, store your finished model in a display case away from direct sunlight and dust to prevent the paint from fading or parts from becoming brittle.
