Необхідні інструменти

The following tools are recommended for assembly (not included in the kit):

• Ніж для хобі або різаки для литників
• Пластичний цемент (модельний клей)
• Дрібнозернистий наждачний папір або шліфувальні палички

Налаштування та збірка

Follow the numbered steps in the instruction diagrams provided within the kit packaging. The general assembly sequence is as follows:

1. Підготовка деталі: Carefully remove parts from the sprues using nippers or a hobby knife. Clean any mold lines or excess plastic (flash) with a hobby knife or sandpaper. Test fit parts before applying glue.
2. Cockpit/Interior Assembly: Assemble any interior components such as the cockpit (if applicable for this UAV model) or equipment bays as per the instructions. Paint these sub-assemblies before closing them within the fuselage.
3. Збірка фюзеляжу: Join the fuselage halves. Ensure proper alignment and use clamps or tape to hold them while the glue dries. Fill and sand any seams for a smooth finish.
4. Збірка крила та хвоста: Attach the wings and tailplane components to the fuselage. Pay close attention to dihedral angles and alignment.
5. Шасі: Assemble and attach the landing gear. Decide whether to build the model in a 'gear up' (in-flight) or 'gear down' (on-ground) configuration, and follow the corresponding instructions.
6. External Details: Add smaller external components such as antennas, sensors, and other delicate parts.
7. Clear Parts: Attach clear parts (e.g., sensor windows) using clear-part-specific glue to avoid fogging. Mask these areas before painting.
8. живопис: Apply primer, then base coats, and finally detail painting according to your chosen scheme. Allow each coat to dry thoroughly.
9. Застосування наклейки: Once paint is dry and a gloss coat is applied, carefully cut out decals. Dip them in water for a few seconds, then slide them onto the model. Use decal setting solutions to help them conform to surfaces and eliminate silvering.
10. Final Coat: Apply a clear flat or satin topcoat to protect the paint and decals and achieve the desired finish.

Технічне обслуговування

To maintain the appearance of your assembled model:

• Прибирання: Dust the model regularly with a soft, dry brush or a can of compressed air. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Дисплей: Display the model in a stable, dust-free environment away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity to prevent fading, warping, or damage to decals and paint.
• Обробка: Handle the model by its sturdy parts, such as the fuselage or main wings, to avoid breaking delicate components.

Усунення несправностей

Common issues and their solutions during model assembly:

• Частини, що не підходять: Ensure all mold lines and flash are removed. Lightly sand the mating surfaces. If parts are warped, gentle heat (e.g., from warm water) can sometimes be used to reshape them, but proceed with caution.
• Проміжки між деталями: Use plastic filler putty to fill gaps. Once dry, sand smooth and re-prime/paint the area.
• Decals Not Adhering/Silvering: Ensure the surface is glossy before applying decals. Use decal setting solutions to help them conform to irregular surfaces and eliminate trapped air (silvering). Apply a clear gloss coat before decals and a clear flat/satin coat after.
• Проблеми з фарбою: Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before painting. Apply thin coats to avoid obscuring detail. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.
