- Отображать: Display your model in a stable, dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperature fluctuations, which can cause plastic to warp or paint to fade.

- Перед нанесением клея примерьте детали без клея, чтобы выявить и устранить проблемы с подгонкой.
- Зазоры после склеивания:
- Small gaps can be filled with plastic putty or stretched sprue.
- Ensure parts are held firmly together until the glue fully cures.
- Поврежденные мелкие детали:
- If a small part breaks, attempt to re-glue it with a strong plastic cement or super glue.
- For irreparable parts, consider scratch-building a replacement using plastic card or rod, or contacting the manufacturer for replacement parts if available.
- Проблемы с краской:
- Плохая адгезия: Ensure the model was clean and primed before painting.
- Неровная отделка: Apply paint in thin, multiple coats. Ensure proper paint thinning if using an airbrush.
