8 ASSEMBLY AND FINISHING TIPS Before assembling model, study instructions carefully. Apply cement to inside surfaces only. Avoid getting cement Do not hurry. Work carefully and patiently. on outer surfaces of model sections. Take time to familiarize yourself with all the parts and their Use cement very sparingly and avoid getting cement on corresponding part numbers. hands, so as not to mar or smear plastic surfaces. Carefully cut the parts from the plastic tree supports and The model can be painted to the discretion of the modeler. remove any burrs. For best results, use only high quality paints designed For best results, assemble model in the order indicated. specifically for plastic model kits. Before proceeding to cement parts together, it is advisable Liquid mask or tape will be helpful in painting detailed areas. to fit parts together dry (without cement) so that you may Use small brushes for fine details. familiarize yourself with the parts and how they go together, The supplied decals are optional and can be applied at the also noting the points where cement is to be applied. judgment of the modeler.
