Troubleshooting

Pieces do not fit flush together

Ensure that all plastic 'nubs' left over from the runner sprue are completely sanded or cut flush with the surface of the piece.

Paint is not adhering to the plastic figures

Wash the unpainted figures with mild soapy water and let them dry completely before applying a primer coat to improve paint grip.

Model feels unstable on the base

Check that the foot-locking mechanism on the hangar base is properly engaged and verify that the leg joints of the REX are securely tightened.

Pros and Cons

  • High level of molded detail for an authentic appearance
  • Includes a specialized hangar display base for dioramas
  • Comes with four iconic character figures from the game
  • Stands at an impressive 22cm when fully assembled

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Assembly requires standard plastic model kit tools, including a pair of side cutters, a hobby knife for cleaning up nubs, and plastic cement for certain sections to ensure structural integrity. Since the parts come in pre-colored plastic, you can build it straight out of the box for a basic look; however, for a weathered or show-accurate finish, you will need acrylic or enamel paints and high-quality brushes. To care for your completed model, keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent plastic yellowing and use a soft, dry brush to gently remove dust from the intricate leg and sensor assemblies periodically.
