Assembly:

Before gluing, we recommend dry-fitting the parts and gently cleaning up the gate marks. It is worth painting the interior and small details before closing up the sub-assemblies.

We recommend applying the decals over a gloss coat, which limits the risk of decal silvering, and after drying sealing them with a matt or satin coat.

Required tools:

• Modelling nippers
• Modelling knife or scalpel
• Files and sandpaper
• Plastic cement
• Precise modelling tweezers
• Primer, brushes and modelling paints
