How to use

Begin by reviewing the instruction sheet and inventorying the parts to familiarise yourself with the assembly sequence. Clean and remove parts from sprues, then test-fit components before applying adhesive. Assemble subassemblies such as cockpit, fuselage and wings according to the instructions, using appropriate model glue. After assembly, prepare surfaces by sanding and filling seams, then prime and paint using recommended model paints. Apply decals when paint is fully cured and finish with a protective clear coat for display.

Usage recommendations

Use sharp modelling tools, fine sandpaper and suitable plastic cement for best results. Work in a well-ventilated area when using glue, primer and paints. Follow the instruction sheet for part orientation and painting guides, and allow adequate drying time between steps to ensure a clean, durable finish.
