AMT Star Trek ROMULAN WARBIRD AMT753 Assembly Instructions

Brand: AMT

Model: Star Trek ROMULAN WARBIRD AMT753

Type: Assembly Instructions

GENERAL ASSEMBLY:

This highly detailed kit features precision-tooled

parts for ease of assembly, but care and patience must be exercised to achieve

optimal results. It is recommended that the builder examine the instructions

carefully and do a dry test fit of parts before applying cement. You will find

this very helpful, as it will allow you to gain a clear understanding of how the parts

fit together in order to best plan painting and final assembly.

SUB-ASSEMBLIES:

Note that this kit is intended to be built in

sub-assemblies. This makes building the kit far more manageable. It is very

important to note that you will also find it extremely advantageous to apply

paint and decals to sub-assemblies before completing final assembly.

Please see the other side of this instruction sheet for details on complex paint and

decal placement.

DECALS & PAINT:

This kit includes extensive water slide decals. These decals

are compatible with setting solution which can be applied to conform around

surface details. Paint is not required to produce satisfactory results. However, some

modelers prefer to add additional painted detail to their kits. See the diagrams on

this sheet for instructions regarding decal placement and optional paint specs. For

best results apply dull coat for final finish.
