Troubleshooting
Parts do not fit correctly
Ensure you are using the correct parts as indicated in the instructions. Check for any excess plastic (flash) on the sprue connection points and carefully trim it away with a hobby knife. Sometimes a light sanding can help achieve a better fit.
Glue is not holding parts together
Ensure the surfaces to be glued are clean and free of paint or oils. Apply a small amount of plastic cement directly to the connection point. For some plastics, a "plastic welder" type of glue works best.
Paint is not adhering properly
Make sure the model surface is clean and free of dust or grease before painting. Use a primer designed for plastic models to ensure good adhesion. Ensure paints are properly mixed and applied in thin coats.
Decals are not sticking or are tearing
Apply decals to a smooth, glossy surface for best adhesion. Use decal setting solutions to help them conform to surface details and remove air bubbles. Handle decals with tweezers and apply them gently.
