How to use

Carefully remove parts from sprues and identify components according to the included instructions. Test-fit parts before applying adhesive to ensure correct alignment. Apply modelling glue in small amounts to bond hull sections, superstructure and fittings; allow each joint to cure before proceeding. After assembly, clean any seam lines with a hobby knife or fine sandpaper, then apply primer if desired and paint using thin, even coats. Follow safety guidance when using adhesives, paints and cutting tools.

Usage recommendations

Use the kit with basic modelling tools: sprue cutters, hobby knife, fine sandpaper, model glue and small brushes. Work in a well-ventilated area and wear protective gloves or a mask if using solvent-based paints or adhesives. Allow adequate drying time between steps to achieve a cleaner finish and improved fit.
