How to use

Unpack the components and identify parts according to the included diagram or instructions. Begin by assembling the hull sections, then attach the conning tower and deck details in the order indicated. Use light adhesive where necessary to secure permanent joins; for temporary assembly, parts can be dry-fitted. After assembly, the model can be left in its natural material color or painted and detailed with hobby paints and washes to achieve the desired appearance. Allow adhesives and paints to dry fully before handling.

Usage recommendations

Use a clean, well-lit workspace and keep small parts out of reach of very young children. For best results when painting, apply a primer suitable for the kit material, use thin layers of paint, and allow each layer to dry before applying the next. Store the finished model on a stable surface away from direct sunlight and moisture to preserve colors and shape.
