How to use

Begin by carefully reviewing the included instruction manual to identify parts and assembly sequences. Remove parts from sprues with a hobby cutter or sprue nipper, clean connection points with a hobby knife or fine file, and dry-fit pieces before applying model glue. Assemble sub-assemblies first (hull, superstructure, masts), then join them together and allow adhesives to cure fully. Prime and paint the completed model using recommended model paints, and apply decals or weathering as desired for display.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting and painting. Work in a well-ventilated area when using solvent-based adhesives or paints. For more precise joins and a professional finish, use fine brushes, masking tape for paint lines, and a model primer before topcoating.
