How to use

Begin by reviewing the assembly instructions included in the kit to identify parts and recommended build sequence. Clean part connections and remove any flash using a hobby knife or fine file for precise fits. Dry-fit components before applying glue if choosing to cement joints; use plastic model cement or appropriate adhesive sparingly. Paint subassemblies before final assembly where necessary, allowing adequate drying time for each coat. Apply decals following manufacturer guidance and finish with a protective clear coat if desired.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (gloves, eye protection) when cutting parts or working with solvents and spray paints. Work in a well-ventilated area and follow safety guidance on paints, glues and tools. Store small parts and decals out of reach of children.
