Before you begin to assemble your model kit, study the instructions carefully. This will help you to familiarize yourself with the part locations as you proceed. Prior to cementing parts together, be sure to “TEST FIT” them in order to assure proper alignment and also to check for excess “FLASH” that may occur along parting lines. Use asharp hobby knife or file to remove flash if necessary. If you wish to paint your model, various sub-assemblies and components should be painted before any parts are attached. During assembly, you may note that the recom-mended color is stated after the part name. This model kit is molded from the finest high-impact styrene plastic. Use only paints and cements which are specifically formulated for styrene. Read all labels and warnings carefully. Because the cement will only adhere to bare plastic, it is necessary to remove any paint or “plating” from areas to which cement is to be applied.

For the best possible finish, your kit should be painted, even if molded in color. Paint should be applied evenly, in several thin coats rather than one heavy coat. The first coat should not completely cover the surface. Each layer should be allowed to thoroughly dry before the next is applied. Also, each coat should be “wet sanded” except for the final coat, using No.1200 wet or dry sandpaper which is slightly damp. Be careful not to remove any detail while sanding. It is important to keep your hands clean when working with your model. Wash parts thoroughly before painting to remove any mold release agent that may have been used during manufacture, body oil from your hands, sanding residue, and dust, which is naturally attracted to plastic by static electricity. Use a mild solution of dishwash-ing detergent and water. A tack rag should be used to dry the parts, or let them fully air dry. DO NOT use paper towels or tissues, since they will leave lint on the part. Parting lines and glue joints should be sanded or filed prior to painting and cementing. Because paint has a tendency to draw away from sharp edges, they should be lightly filed. Use filler putty designed for plastic to fill small gaps that may occur between parts and to blend contours. This should be done only after the first, or “primer,” coat of paint is applied. When painting a two-tone body, the lightest color should be painted first. Use frosted, or “magic,” tape to mask off the area you do not want painted. After the second color is dry to the touch, the tape can be removed. Use a very fine brush to touch up edges if necessary. If decals are to be added, do so before adding any gloss coat. A gloss coat willhelp even out the edges between the two colors as well as set the decals.

Use a sharp hobby knife to remove parts from the trees. The knife may also be usedto remove parting lines and flash.

Use tweezers to hold small parts during assembly, painting and when applying cement.

We recommend the use of liquid polystyrene cement. Apply with a fine brush. Use sparingly or a sloppy job will result.

We do not recommend the use of automotive spray lacquers for painting styrene plastic parts, due to the potential for damage caused by crazing. Suitable lacquer primer must always be used as a base coat under lacquer paints.

NOTE: Tires are directional - tread pattern rolls forward as shown by arrows. If you do not wish to use the whitewalls, reverse tires to expose Goodyear lettering and install on opposite side of car, allowing tread pattern to maintain the correct directional rotation.

NOTE: In order to use custom wheels/wide tires, axle stopper plates must be removed. See diagram to left. Carefully remove both stopper plates, leaving full width of axle intact, including wheel mounting pins. Assemble custom rear wheels onto axle, ensuring wheel retainers cover entire area where stopper plates were, as shown.

NOTE: If you wish to use the gauge decals, apply them before installing the INSTRU-MENT PANEL (49). Sand off the engraved gauge detail from instrument panel before applying decals.
