How to use
Remove parts from sprues using a hobby knife or sprue cutters, taking care to trim any excess plastic for cleaner joins. Follow the included instruction sheet to identify and assemble parts in the recommended sequence. Press snap-fit tabs firmly into place until parts click together; verify alignment before proceeding to the next assembly step. After construction, the model can be left in its factory plastic finish or prepared for painting: clean surfaces, apply a primer suitable for plastic, then use acrylic or enamel paints according to desired appearance.
Usage recommendations
Work on a clean, well-lit surface and use appropriate safety equipment such as eye protection when cutting parts. For enhanced realism, consider light sanding at joins, panel-line washes, and weathering techniques after painting. Keep small parts and instructions away from young children; although snap-fit removes the need for glue, some finishing steps may require adult supervision.
