How to use

Follow the included illustrated instruction booklet to identify parts and assemble the model in sequential steps. Work on a clean, flat surface with good lighting and separate small pieces in trays or containers to simplify handling. No glue or special tools are required for standard assembly; parts snap together using the kit's interlocking connections. After completing construction, position the model on a stable surface or within a display case to protect it from dust and accidental damage.

Recommendations

For best results, assemble the model in a dust-free environment and handle smaller elements with tweezers if needed. Keep the instruction booklet for future disassembly or repairs, and avoid exposing the assembled model to prolonged direct sunlight to prevent color fading. If adding extra detail or weathering, use model paints and adhesives designed for plastics and allow adequate drying time.
