FAQs

What tools do I need?

You will need plastic cement, modeling tools (hobby knife, sprue cutters), paint, brushes, and possibly a file or sanding sticks.

Can I use different paints?

Yes, you can use a variety of paints. Acrylic and enamel paints are commonly used.

How do I remove the parts from the sprue?

Use sprue cutters or a hobby knife to carefully remove parts, leaving a small amount of the sprue attached. Trim the excess with a hobby knife or file.

How do I apply decals?

Cut out the decals from the sheet, dip them in water, and slide them onto the model. Use a soft cloth or cotton swab to remove excess water and bubbles.

What type of glue should I use?

Plastic cement is recommended for assembling plastic model kits. It melts the plastic slightly, creating a strong bond.

Troubleshooting

Parts don't fit together properly.

Ensure you are using the correct parts and that the edges are clean. Trim any excess plastic with a hobby knife.
