1/32■Please carefully read the assembly manual prior toopening and make sure that everything is included.
■To use this item, tools such as ●nippers, ●craft knife, ●ﬁles, ●sanding papers, ●instant glue, etc., are required,
so please prepare them.
■Please prepare the parts ﬁrst. You can remove seam linesand gate marks with tools such as nippers, a craft knife
and ﬁles. Urethane resin is softer than the plastic
material used for the kit, so be careful to avoid carving
too much. Air bubbles can be ﬁlled with putty (epoxy,plastic, etc.) or similar, then ﬁnished with sanding paper.
In the case that mold details are lost, you can recoverthem with tools such as spatulas.
■During assembly, adjust the orientation of each part while
checking the balance and pose of the entire kit.
■Instant glue should be used for these parts. Please notethat they cannot be glued with plastic model kit cement.
■We recommend using brass wire (sold separately) tore i n fo rc e t h e a re a s w h e re t h e p a r t s a re g l u e dtogether. Use a pin vise and drill bit to open a holeon both sides of each gluing surface, then insert theends of a brass wire into the holes to connect thesides. This will greatly increase the strength of eachjoint. (Using the wires without glue to temporarily
build a ﬁgure is called dry ﬁtting. We recommend
doing so in order to check each ﬁgure's balance.)■Base preparation is required before painting. Pleasethoroughly ﬁnish the base with a coat of surfacer spray(otherwise, the paint will chip oﬀ as time passes).
■We re c o m m e n d t h e wa te r- bas e d “ Va l l ejo C o l o r ”
paints for painting your kit, due to its environmental
friendliness. While referring to resources onhistorical Luft waﬀe aircrafts, you may paint themodel with the coloring of your choice.
