• Test Fit: Always test fit parts before applying adhesive to ensure proper alignment and fit.
• Adhesive Application: Apply a small amount of model cement to one surface, then press parts together firmly. Allow sufficient drying time.

Maintenance

Once assembled, your model requires minimal maintenance:

• Cleaning: Dust your model regularly with a soft brush or a can of compressed air. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Display: Display your model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading or warping of plastic parts.
• Handling: Handle the model carefully to avoid breaking delicate parts.

Troubleshooting

• Parts Not Fitting: Ensure all excess plastic (flash) has been removed. Lightly sand contact points if necessary. Verify you are using the correct parts as indicated in the instruction booklet.
• Decals Not Adhering: Ensure the surface is clean and glossy. Use decal setting solution to help decals conform and adhere.
• Paint Issues: If paint is uneven or clumpy, ensure surfaces are clean before painting. Apply paint in multiple thin coats rather than one thick coat. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly.
