GENERAL ASSEMBLY: This highly-detailed kit features precision-tooled
parts for ease of assembly. Care and patience must be exercised to achieve
optimal results. The kit has been designed to assemble via snap assembly.
GLUE ASSEMBLY: If a modeler chooses to glue their model, it is
recommended that the instructions be examined carefully before
applying cement. You will find this very helpful, as it will allow you to gain a
clear understanding of how the parts fit together in order to best plan painting
and final assembly. If doing a test fit, scraping the attachment pins with a knife
blade may be beneficial to separate parts before re-assembling with glue.
SUB-ASSEMBLIES: Note that this kit is intended to be built in
sub-assemblies. This makes building the kit far more manageable. It is very
important to note that it can be extremely advantageous to apply paint and
decals to sub-assemblies before completing final assembly.
DECALS & PAINT: This kit includes extensive water slide decals. Note that
the large areas of aztec paneling decals are applied first, allowed to dry,
and a second set of smaller decals (primarily marking decals) are placed on
top. These decals are compatable with setting solution which can be applied to
conform around surface details. Paint is not required to produce satisfactory
results. However, some modelers prefer to add additional painted detail to their
kits. See the diagrams on this sheet for instructions regarding decal placement
and optional paint specs. For best results apply dull coat for final finish.
