ASSEMBLY MANUAL
POL914/12
1/25 scale model kit
Assembly: Carefully study and understand the
entire instruction sheet. Compare the parts in the box
to the instruction sheet to be sure you have received
all the parts required. Carefully remove parts from
trees. If subassemblies and components are painted
do so before any parts are attached. Use only cement
and paint made for styrene plastic.
Painting: Painting is optional and is not required
to complete kit.
Wash parts thoroughly with mild soap
and water. Parting lines, glue joints, and sharp edges
should be sanded or filled with filler putty designed for
plastic. Apply a "primer" coat and allow to dry. Check
parts for imperfections and repeat the procedure if
necessary. Remove any lint or dust. Apply paint
evenly, in several thin coats rather than one heavy
coat. Allow each coat to thoroughly dry before the next
is applied. Each coat should be carefully “wet
sanded” using slightly damp No. 1200 sandpaper. Be
careful not to remove any detail while sanding.
Lightest colors should be painted first. Use frosted
tape to mask off areas not to be painted. Remove tape
after paint is dry to the touch. Use a very fine brush to
touch up edges.
STICKERS: See back of instruction sheet for
proper application.
