Troubleshooting

Encountering difficulties during assembly is common, especially with intricate models. Here are some tips for common issues:

• Parts Not Fitting: Ensure the correct parts are being used for each step. Double-check the instruction diagrams. Sometimes, a slight adjustment to a bend or tab angle is needed.
• Difficulty with Small Parts: Use tweezers or fine-tipped pliers for better grip and control when handling very small components. A magnifying glass can also be helpful.
• Unclear Instructions: If a step is unclear, try looking ahead in the manual to see how the part integrates into the larger structure. Sometimes, online communities or videos can offer additional visual guidance.
• Bent or Damaged Parts: If a part is slightly bent, gently try to reshape it using pliers. If a part is severely damaged, contact customer support for possible replacement options.
