General Directions For Building Printed Kits.
This is a 3D printed, unpainted, resin kit. 3D printed resin parts are delicate and not as soft as plastics. Parts may need some blemishes cleaning up with a file or sandpaper. Printing support structure is removed from the prints but some small pieces may remain.
For securing parts of the kit I would recommend using super glue. DO NOT use solvent adhesives as they are designed to bond plastics only. Test fit parts before securing with glue to check for a good fit. Some parts may warp slightly under pressure. DO NOT use any PVA glues when adding weighted ballast or coal to models, PVA glues react and expand over time and can damage printed parts.
For painting I would first recommend priming the model with a spray primer. All painted examples are brush painted, however these kits can be spray painted too. I have tested Humbrol, Revel and Citadel paints all of which work fine. I would recommend using a high quality branded paint acrylic poster paints can yield some poor finishes.
