Here is some advice for assembling :

Preparation of the model : eliminate the superfluous resin with a scalpel. When necessary, fil up the holes with polyester mastic, then rub down. In order to keep the details after painting, re-engrave the delicate parts of the body (around the windscreen and windows) to keep the details after painting. Rub down the pieces with a very thin sandpaper (800).

Before painting gently wash the body with water and soap.

Painting : work in an airy and dry place. Give the model a thin coat of size to check out the quality of sanding and facilitate the adherence of paint. Use an airbrush : the paint is brighter and you can do the good colour yourself. Spray (20 cm far from the model) thin coats of paint and let dry in a dust-free place.

Assembling and gluing : put together the different pieces of the model to visualise the way of assembling. For assembling, use glue (cyanocrylate) carefully. Use a needle to put a drop of glue on the different fastening points.

Decals : cut off and remove the superfluous varnish around the decals. Dip the decals in lukewarm water for a few seconds and slide them of the model. Eliminate the air bubbles using a handkerchief paper, and use cotton with aclohol 70° to insure that the decals will sthick perfectly to the body.

Transparent parts : these pieces are very fragile, handle them with care. Cut out and clean each piece, and use varnish for gluing.

Photetched parts : take off the pieces with scissors, and gently file them off. Use a needle for gluing. Be careful that some pieces have to be worked before gluing.
