Building and finishing

Dry-fit the body, chassis and interior assemblies before applying paint. Check the window fit and plan the treatment of trim and brightwork. Light paint coats preserve panel lines and small details. Keep glue-contact surfaces clear where a strong bond is needed, and let the body finish cure before extensive handling.

A consistent stance and tidy glazing can make the finished vehicle more convincing from normal viewing distance. Follow the instructions for the wheel and suspension sequence, then check alignment before the final bond sets. A personal color choice can also give the model its own character while preserving the recognizable body shape.
