How to use

Follow the included instruction leaflet to separate parts from sprues, test-fit components and glue them in the indicated sequence. Use appropriate modelling cement for plastic parts and allow sufficient drying time before proceeding to the next step. Paint individual subassemblies according to the reference guides in the instructions, then apply decals on a clean, dry surface. Final assembly and touch-ups will complete the display model.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use fine modelling tools (sprue cutters, files, sanding sticks) and model-specific paints and adhesives. Work in a well-ventilated area when painting or using solvents, and follow decal application techniques such as setting solution and careful positioning to achieve a realistic finish.
