Building the model
Construction instructions are usually pictorial, without text. With a careful step-by-step procedure, even a beginner can build this model. First, check the completeness of the kit and carefully study the building instructions. Prepare a work table, work tools (tweezers, modeling knife, nippers, various brushes), glue and paints. It is advisable to prepare a 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. Be careful not to let the part bounce off you and get lost. Always separate from the frame only the part that you will use right away. Apply the glue 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.

Coloring the model
If you do not like the model in the color of plastic, you can paint it. Use special modeling paints, they usually give you 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 brush to paint small parts. Use a wide brush to paint large areas of the model. Always let the individual colors dry well, this will prevent spoiling the entire model just because of impatience.

Health protection
We recommend using a respirator or other respiratory protection when grinding. Dust generated when sanding plastic, PUR parts, 3D print parts, or sealants can later cause health problems. We also recommend using eye protection. Small parts can snort while working and endanger your eyesight. We recommend wearing protective gloves when working with paints and thinners. The workplace should be well ventilated.
