MPC STAR WARS HAN SOLO'S MILLENNIUM FALCON... User manual

IMPORTANT! READ
Before you begin building your kit
read the instructions completely
and carefully. Study all the illustra-
tions and the placement of each
part. When assembling the kit test
fit each part before cementing.
This kit utilizes a combination of
vintage tooling and new parts.
Some gaps or seams may require
putty to close especially if lighting
the model. It is best to cut the
parts from their “runners” with a
modelers knife instead of twisting
them off. Cut the parts only as
they’re needed. Only paint and
cement for styrene plastic should
be used. Be sure to trim off excess
plastic or “flash”. Cement should
be applied to small parts with a
toothpick. Each part is numbered.
Placement for the part is some-
times numbered to correspond to
the part.
