Helpful Hints

Take care removing the parts from the sprues, especially fine parts.
Use good quality styrene cement. You will find both the liquid and
thicker tube type useful in different locations. If you are using the liquid
version take care handling the parts because the plank lines draw the
cement away from the joint very quickly.
