Decals not adhering correctly

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a dedicated workspace with good lighting and ventilation. You will need a standard plastic model cement (glue), a set of fine-point tweezers for applying stickers, and hobby paints suitable for plastic models. We recommend testing your paint on a spare piece of plastic before applying it to the main structure. After assembly, keep your model away from direct sunlight to prevent plastic warping or paint fading. Clean the model periodically using a soft, dry brush to remove dust from the intricate deck details.
