First of all to read well the note of assembly for then scrupulously respecting of them all the phases of assembly for an optimal result, that can appear obvious but much of people neglect this phase to find itself with nasty surprises thereafter.

To provide itself with document because some is the exactitude of the note to refer to good photographs remains essential. To put itself in a quite enlightened and ventilated part on a table disencumbered beforehand of all things useless at the assembly and very embarrassing, to do good work nothing better than a clean and released place.

Here one can go there, begin with the degrapage parts like the hull, doors... and other parts requiring a quite uniform coat of paint and without final improvement. For this operation help you of a cutter or blade holder by taking care not to start the plastic too much, to operate in the same way for the remainder of the parts but do not detach especially the smallest parts because they will be easier to paint directly on the bunch and to detach them dry once without forgetting their to make a small final improvement with the brush of their point of fixing.

Do not throw the empty bunches because they will be useful to you later like support during the stage of painting by fixing them of a tiny point of adhesive on the invisible face of the part once gone up, but also an element can you have escaped.

Proceed by an assembly to white i.e. present each parts before painting them because there is often some fitting to make, for that to use a smooth file.

A small easy way for the cutting of door or a cap, to use a small soldering iron, to fix at the end using a copper or brass wire a small blade of scalpel and the turn is played.

Before passing the layer of primary education, slightly sandpaper the parts with a paper to be sandpapered very fine, for example paper of dry sandpapering grain 1000 or one kind of soft steel wool can be used, with regard to the plans of join or other burs made disappear them by taking care not to erase certain details of the model.

The ideal will be to use paper of sandpapering to water grain 2000 on all the parts of body for then all drying well and degreasing using a rag slightly soaked with a grease-removing product, anti-silicone or no aggressive basic prepared for the plastic (you can get information in a carriage-builder painter).

As soon as all the parts are ready to be assembled, to use a polystyrene cement preferably but the other adhesives can be to use, with you to see. For the passage of the layer of primary education and painting to refer in the chapter "finishes and paintings".

But do not forget especially the assembly with white before the stage of the finish and of painting, it is very important.
