Step-by-Step Assembly
- Detaching Pieces: Carefully detach each piece from its sheet. Use a hobby knife or precision scissors if necessary for clean removal, especially for intricate parts.
- Folding: Pre-fold all score lines before attempting to connect pieces. Ensure folds are crisp and accurate.
- Connecting Tabs: Insert tabs into corresponding slots. For some steps, particularly early ones, ensure the printed side of the paper faces inwards if the design requires it for correct alignment and appearance. This is crucial for parts that form internal structures.
- Applying Glue: Use small amounts of the provided modeling glue for final steps or for sections requiring extra stability. Apply glue sparingly to tabs or connection points and hold firmly until set.
- Following the Booklet: Adhere strictly to the sequence and diagrams provided in the official instruction booklet. Each step builds upon the previous one.
- Display Stand Assembly: Once the main model is complete, assemble the display stand according to its specific instructions and attach the Millennium Falcon securely.

Display and Care
Once assembled, your Millennium Falcon model is a display piece. To maintain its appearance:
- Placement: Display the model on a stable, flat surface away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, or humidity to prevent warping or fading.
- Cleaning: Dust gently with a soft, dry brush or cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
- Handling: Handle the model by its base or sturdy sections to prevent damage to delicate parts.

Maintenance
This paper model kit requires minimal maintenance. Periodically check for any loose connections or dust accumulation. Reapply small amounts of glue if any parts become detached over time.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Pieces do not fit together easily. | Incorrect folding direction or misaligned tabs. | Ensure all folds are made in the correct direction (sometimes the printed side needs to face inwards). Double-check tab alignment before pressing pieces together. Do not force pieces; gently adjust. |
| Tabs are flimsy or break. | Excessive force during assembly or removal from sheets. | Handle pieces gently. If a tab breaks, use a small amount of glue to secure the connection point. |
| Model appears unstable. | Insufficient glue or loose connections. | Reinforce critical connections with small amounts of glue. Ensure the display stand is fully assembled and stable. |
