How to use

Unpack the components and check the parts against the included instructions. Follow the step-by-step assembly sequence, aligning tabs and sockets for the snap-fit connections. Trim any small plastic nubs with a hobby knife or sprue cutter for a cleaner join, and sand lightly where necessary to improve fit. If desired, apply modelling glue on stressed joints for extra strength, and use model paints and brushes or airbrush equipment to finish the exterior. Allow paint and any adhesives to dry fully before handling the completed model.

Usage recommendations

Work on a clean, well-lit surface and keep small parts and tools out of reach of young children. Use appropriate hobby tools—sprue cutters, fine files, and modelling knives—to improve build quality, and wear a dust mask if sanding plastic. For painting, use paints formulated for plastic models and allow proper drying times between coats to achieve a durable finish.
