How to use

Carefully remove parts from sprues using a modelling knife or sprue cutter, sand connection points smooth and follow the step-by-step assembly instructions included in the kit. Test-fit components before applying adhesive for accurate alignment. Paint components with suitable model paints prior to final assembly where accessible; apply decals after the paint has fully cured and use decal setting solution if needed. Allow glue and paint to dry completely between steps and finish with a clear coat to protect decals and paintwork.

Recommendations

Use fine-grit sandpaper and precision cutters for clean part preparation, and choose acrylic or enamel model paints compatible with polystyrene. Work in a well-ventilated area and store the finished model away from direct sunlight to preserve decals and colours.
