- Sandpaper or Small Files
- Adhesive (SuperGlue)
Assembly Instructions:
Watch the following video instructions for the model assembly. Check for tolerances before assembly. Use the appropriate tool for sizing the joint members. The press-fitting of some parts may require force. Use pliers or a vice for fitting, if necessary. In case any joint feels loose, use adhesive to fix the joint.
