- Folding: Crease all fold lines precisely as indicated in the instructions.
- Gluing: Apply glue sparingly to the designated tabs. Hold pieces firmly together until the glue sets. For enhanced durability, some users recommend using a faster-drying craft glue or additional super glue, as the provided glue may require longer drying times.

Maintenance
To maintain the appearance of your model, keep it in a dry environment away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity, which can affect paper and glue. Dust gently with a soft, dry brush or cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Common Assembly Challenges:
- Tabs peeling: If tabs begin to peel, apply a small amount of glue to re-secure them. Allow ample drying time.
- Pieces not fitting: Double-check the piece numbers and orientation against the instruction booklet. Ensure all folds are sharp and accurate.
- Glue not holding: Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before applying glue. Apply firm, consistent pressure for several seconds after application. Consider using tape to hold pieces in place while glue dries, especially for larger sections.
