Key specifications
Scale: small-scale plastic model suitable for beginners
Material: injection-moulded polystyrene parts
Components: hull, superstructure, limited accessory parts, decal sheet for markings
Assembly: snap-fit and glue-compatible parts with illustrated instructions
Finishing: suitable for basic paint application and simple detailing
How to use
Follow the supplied illustrated instruction sheet to identify parts on the sprues and the correct assembly order. Carefully remove parts from the sprue using a modelling knife or sprue cutters, clean any excess flash, and test-fit pieces before applying plastic model cement or appropriate adhesive. Apply decals after the paint has fully dried and use light coats of model paint to achieve an even finish. Work in a well-ventilated area and allow components to cure according to glue and paint manufacturer recommendations.
Usage recommendations
For best results, use fine sanding tools to remove sprue marks, plastic model cement for secure joints, and acrylic or enamel model paints applied with a small brush or airbrush. Keep small parts organised during assembly and follow safety guidance for cutting tools and adhesives.
