Which adhesives are best for the plastic parts

Plastic cement works well for most joins and provides a strong bond. For very small or delicate fittings cyanoacrylate can be used sparingly, but take care to avoid fogging clear parts.

Are the decals ready to apply or do they need preparation

Decals are included and fit the kit markings. Prepare a smooth paint surface, use decal setting solution if available and finish with a clear coat to protect and blend the decals into the paintwork.
