Assembly Recommendations and Safety
Assembling the detailing parts requires precision and the use of appropriate tools:
Resin parts should be carefully cut from their casting blocks, test fitted to the model, and joined with metal parts.
For joining metal and resin parts, the use of cyanoacrylate (CA) glue is recommended.
Metal parts can also be joined together using soldering, which provides a very durable bond.
After gluing, the assembled set should be painted with model paints according to your chosen painting scheme. Please note that some details may require painting before final assembly.
Important Safety Information: When working with resin parts, especially during cutting and sanding, a very fine, airborne dust is generated. To protect your health, it is essential to ensure adequate room ventilation and to use respiratory protection, such as a filtering mask.
Recommended Additional Accessories
