Display and Care

Troubleshooting

While model kits are generally straightforward, some common issues may arise:

• Parts not fitting: Ensure all excess plastic (flash) is removed. Test fit parts before applying glue. Small adjustments with a file or sandpaper may be necessary.
• Missing parts: Carefully check the sprues and packaging. If a part is genuinely missing, contact AMT customer support (see Support section).
