How to use

Carefully remove parts from sprues, clean any moulding gates and follow the step-by-step assembly instructions provided. Dry-fit components to check alignment before gluing. Use model-grade adhesives appropriate for plastic and allow sufficient curing time between assembly stages. Paint components before final assembly where indicated to achieve a neat finish; apply decals after the base paint has fully dried. Handle movable parts such as the main rotor gently to avoid stress on attachment points.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use fine brushes and hobby paints formulated for plastic models, masking for crisp markings, and a magnifier when detailing the instrument panel and cockpit seats. When building dioramas, fix lightweight rigging with thin thread and a minimal amount of adhesive to preserve scale appearance.
