How to use

Begin by reviewing the instruction manual and identifying sprues and parts. Cleanly remove parts from sprues using modelling cutters and remove any flash or seam lines with a hobby knife or fine files. Dry-fit components before gluing to confirm alignment. Use model glue designed for polystyrene to assemble the hull, superstructure and smaller fittings, allowing adhesive to cure as recommended. Prime and paint the assembled model with suitable enamel or acrylic model paints, applying masks and multiple thin coats for even coverage. Attach final small details after painting and apply decals following the instruction sheet.

Use appropriate personal protective equipment, work in a well-ventilated area when sanding or painting, and follow manufacturer instructions for adhesives and paints.
