ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE NUMBERS
Before you begin building, look over the instructions carefully. Following
the procedure given, test-fit parts together without cementing. This way
you will be more familiar with the location of parts when it becomes time
to use cement.
For removing small parts from the “runners” it is best to use a
modelers knife, do not attempt to “twist” them off.
The highest quality styrene plastic goes into the making of each MPC
®
model. Only cement and paint designed for styrene plastic should be
used. Before joining parts, trim off excess plastic or “flash.” Scrape
plating from chromed parts where they are to be joined with other parts.
Be careful not to get cement on exposed areas. To join parts, use
cement sparingly. Apply cement to very small parts with a toothpick.
When painting your model it is best to cement all non-chromed
accessories to the body and paint the whole unit at one time.
You should have no trouble assembling your kit if the instructions are
followed properly.
