Instruccions de muntatge
- Preparació: Carefully remove all parts from the sprues using a hobby knife or sprue cutters. Clean any excess plastic (flash) from the parts with a hobby knife or fine-grit sandpaper. Wash all parts in mild soapy water and rinse thoroughly to remove any mold release agents, then allow them to air dry completely.
- Pintura: Refer to the painting guide (if included) or product box art for color suggestions. Paint individual parts before assembly where possible for better coverage and detail. Allow paint to dry completely according to the paint manufacturer's instructions.
- Muntatge: Follow the numbered steps in the included diagrammatic instructions. Use plastic model cement sparingly to join parts. Ensure proper alignment before the glue sets. For clear parts (windows), use a clear-part adhesive to avoid fogging.
- Etiquetes: Apply decals after painting and a clear gloss coat. Cut out each decal, dip it in water for a few seconds, and slide it onto the model. Position carefully and gently blot away excess water with a soft cloth. Apply a clear flat or gloss coat over decals to seal them.
