הוראות הרכבה
Follow the detailed step-by-step diagrams provided in the physical instruction booklet included with your kit. Ensure all parts are carefully removed from the sprues using appropriate cutting tools. Clean any excess plastic (flash) from the parts before assembly. Use plastic cement sparingly to join parts, allowing adequate drying time between steps. Test fit parts before applying adhesive.
- הֲכָנָה: Carefully cut parts from the sprues. Smooth any rough edges with a hobby knife or fine sandpaper.
- תת-הרכבות: Assemble smaller components and sub-assemblies first, such as the engine, chassis, and cabin interior, as indicated in the manual.
- הרכבה ראשית: Join the sub-assemblies to form the main structure of the truck.
- פירוט: Attach smaller detail parts, such as lights, mirrors, and tools, after the main structure is solid.
- דמויות: Assemble and paint any included figures separately before placing them in the vehicle.
מדריך לציור
Refer to the paint guide in your kit's instruction booklet for specific color placements. Apply paint in thin, even coats. Allow each coat to dry completely before applying the next. For best results, consider priming the model before painting. Use the recommended Tamiya acrylic paints and thinners.
יישום מדבקות
Cut out each decal individually. Dip the decal in lukewarm water for a few seconds until it can slide freely from its backing paper. Position the decal on the model using tweezers. Gently blot away excess water with a soft cloth or cotton swab. For irregular surfaces, use Tamiya Mark Fit (Strong) decal softener to help the decal conform to the contours. Apply Tamiya Decal Adhesive Soft for better adhesion if needed.

תַחזוּקָה
Once assembled and painted, your model requires minimal maintenance. Keep it in a dust-free environment, such as a display case, to preserve its finish. Avoid direct sunlight, which can cause paint fading or plastic warping over time. Clean gently with a soft, dry brush if dust accumulates.
פתרון בעיות

- חלקים חסרים או פגומים: Contact Tamiya customer support or the retailer where the kit was purchased.
