Modeler’s Guide for Resin Kits

To achieve a professional finish for your German Army reconnaissance team, please follow these industry-standard preparation steps:

1. Preparation: Wash all resin parts in warm, soapy water to remove mold release agents. This ensures that your primer and paint bond correctly to the surface.

2. Assembly: Use Cyanoacrylate (Super Glue) for all connections. Standard plastic cement is for polystyrene only and will not work on resin materials.

3. Refinement: Use a fine-grit sanding stick or hobby knife to clean up any support marks or minor casting lines. Dry-fit the figures with your motorcycle model before final gluing to ensure a perfect seated pose.

4. Safety: When sanding or trimming resin, always work in a well-ventilated area and wear a dust mask to avoid inhaling fine particles.

5. Priming: A high-quality surface primer is essential. It provides the necessary "tooth" for your acrylic or oil paints to grip the smooth resin surface.
