What accessories are included?

How do I attach the figures to my model?

It is recommended to use a specialized model building adhesive, such as NOCH glues, for a secure and permanent attachment.

Are these figures suitable for children?

Troubleshooting

Figure does not stand upright on its own.

Ensure the base of the figure is on a flat surface. If needed, use a small amount of model building adhesive to secure it to the surface.

Adhesive not holding the figure in place.

Ensure both surfaces are clean and dry before applying adhesive. Use a sufficient but not excessive amount of appropriate model building glue.

Paint appears damaged or chipped.

Handle figures gently by their bases. If minor chipping occurs, consider using a matching acrylic paint for touch-ups if experienced with model painting.
