How to use

Carefully remove parts from the sprues and follow the provided assembly instructions. Test-fit components before applying adhesive and use model glue suitable for polystyrene. Paint and decals can be applied after assembly or in sub-assemblies for greater accuracy; allow glued sections to cure fully before painting. Handle small parts, such as pylons and ordnance, with tweezers to avoid damage and ensure precise placement.

Usage recommendations

Work on a clean, well-lit surface and use a hobby knife and fine sandpaper to remove moulding marks. Use thin coats of model paint and masking techniques for sharp camo and insignia. Store assembled models away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve paint and plastic quality.
