Assembly:

An airliner model calls for careful joining of the fuselage halves and smoothing of the seams, plus accurate application of the livery decals. It is worth planning some nose weight so the model sits on its nose gear.

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
• Modelling wash to emphasise details
