PAINTING TIPS: Use a solution of mild soap and water to wash parts thoroughly, to remove any dirt or oily

residue. Dry parts with a soft towel, then allow them to fully air-dry. Keep your hands and working area clean

and dry when assembling your model kit.

Apply a coat of "primer" prior to painting. Glue joints may then be filled and sanded. Use only filler putty

designed for plastic. Test filler on some scrap plastic before applying to your model kit. A tack rag may be

used to remove any lint or sanding dust before painting. Paints should be applied evenly in several thin layers

rather than one heavy coat. Each layer should be allowed to thoroughly dry before the next is applied. Each

coat may be "wet sanded" using slightly damp minimum #1200 sandpaper. Be careful not to remove molded

details while sanding. Use frosted tape to mask areas you do not want painted. Remove tape when paint is dry

to the touch. Paint lightest colors first. Use a fine brush to touch up edges.

DECALS: See back of decal sheet for application

instructions. Many of the very small decals in this kit have

been included in duplicate to serve as backups, should any

get lost or otherwise compromised during application.
