Building the model
The building instructions in the kit are usually pictorial, without text. With a slow and careful step-by-step process, even an adult beginner can build this model. First, carefully study the instructions for building the model and check the completeness of the kit. Prepare a work table, work tools (tweezers, modeling knife, nippers, various brushes), glue and paints. It is advisable to prepare a small box where you can put the finished construction groups until the glue dries. Separate the parts from the frame with sharp plastic nippers or a sharp modeling knife. Always separate from the frame only the part that you will use right away. Apply the glue only in the smallest necessary amount and only on the contact surfaces of the parts. The cleaner your work, the better the result. Do not rush the construction, it is usually better to let the glue dry thoroughly, even until the next day.

Model coloring (if necessary)
Use special modeling paints, with them you will usually achieve the best result. Before coloring, it is good to thoroughly degrease the surface of the model. It is good to paint some small parts directly in the frame before you separate them from the frame. Use a thin pointed brush to paint small parts. Use a wide flat brush to paint large areas of the model. For a better appearance of the model, we recommend using modeling spray paint or a modeling spray gun when coloring larger areas. The result is always better than a surface painted with a brush. Always let the individual colors dry well, this will prevent spoiling the entire model just because of impatience.
