Vedligeholdelse og pleje

Proper care will preserve the appearance of your finished model.

• Opbevaring: Store the model in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can cause paint to fade and plastic to warp or become brittle.
• Håndtering: Always handle the model by its sturdy parts, such as the main fuselage or wings, to avoid damaging delicate components like antennas, landing gear, or weapons.

Fejlfinding af almindelige problemer

• Dele der ikke passer: Ensure all sprue gates are fully removed and check for any excess plastic 'flash' that might be obstructing the fit. Gently sand or trim as needed.
• Decals bubbling or not adhering: Ensure the surface is clean and smooth. Apply a small amount of decal setting solution to help the decal conform to the surface and remove trapped air bubbles. Gently press down with a soft cloth or cotton swab.
• Paint uneven or streaky: Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before painting. Apply paint in thin, even coats, allowing each coat to dry completely before applying the next. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat.
• Klæbemiddel holder ikke: Ensure both surfaces are clean and free of paint or grease. Apply adhesive sparingly and hold parts firmly together for the recommended drying time.
