Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin assembly, carefully remove the 43 plastic components from the sprues using a sharp hobby knife to avoid damaging the molded details. Use plastic-compatible model cement to bond the figures to the chariots and any secondary accessories. For best results, wash the plastic components in mild soapy water before painting to remove any manufacturing residue, ensuring the paint adheres uniformly. Store finished models in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight to prevent the plastic from becoming brittle or the paint from fading over time.
