What preparatory steps help a neat build?

Wash parts to remove mould release, remove flash with a sharp blade, and test-fit subassemblies before gluing to ensure clean joins and alignment.

Should I use liquid cement or superglue?

Liquid plastic cement gives strong bonds for most joints and allows slight adjustment. Use CA glue for small or stressed connections where instant hold is needed.

Is masking required for accurate paint lines?

Yes, precise masking of canopies and multi-colour schemes is essential. Use low-tack tape and thin coats of paint to avoid bleed under the mask.
