AMT Star Trek ROMULAN WARBIRD AMT753 User manual

GENERAL ASSEMBLY: This highly detailed kit features precision-tooled
parts for ease of assembly, but care and patience must be exercised to achieve
optimal results. It is recommended that the builder examine the instructions
carefully and do a dry test fit of parts 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.
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 you will also find it extremely advantageous to apply
paint and decals to sub-assemblies before completing final assembly.
Please see the other side of this instruction sheet for details on complex paint and
decal placement.
DECALS & PAINT: This kit includes extensive water slide decals. These decals
are compatible 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.
