CLEAN ALL RESIN PARTS IN WARM SOAPY WATER

The silicone release agent used in the casting process will react with paint, it must be thoroughly cleaned off before painting.  This is a rough guide to using the kit. Care should be taken at each stage to make sure the model is going together cor rectly and any alterations that are not in the instructions should be carried out.

Paint : Components can be painted at any time in the build, it is a case of what suits the builder. We tend to use Automotive spray paints such as Halfords or Hycote or Hobby Paints like Humbrol, Revell or Tamiya.
Glue : Recommended glue is contact adhesive or super glue. Blue Lid Gorilla Super Glue is what we prefer.

**Cleaning Resin Parts

**

To ensure proper painting, it is important to clean all resin parts in warm soapy water. The silicone release agent used in the casting process will react with paint, so it must be thoroughly cleaned off before painting.
