4. Nastavení a montáž

Follow these general steps for assembling your model kit. Refer to the specific assembly diagrams included with your model for detailed part placement.

4.1. Příprava pracovního prostoru

Set up a clean, well-lit, and organized workspace. Protect your work surface with a cutting mat or old newspaper.

4.2. Tool Familiarization

• Sprue Cutter: Use to carefully snip plastic parts from the sprue (the frame they are attached to). Cut as close to the part as possible without damaging it.
• Hobby nůž: Ideal for trimming excess plastic (flash) or refining cut edges. Always use with caution.
• File: Použijte file to smooth any rough edges or nubs left after cutting parts from the sprue. File gently in one direction.
• Pinzeta: Essential for picking up and positioning small or delicate parts.

4.3. Proces montáže

1. Study Instructions: Before cutting any parts, carefully review the entire instruction booklet provided with your model kit. Identify all parts and understand the assembly sequence.
2. Demontáž dílu: Using the sprue cutter, carefully remove parts from the sprue. Avoid twisting or pulling, which can damage parts.
3. Čisté díly: Use the hobby knife and file to clean up any excess plastic or mold lines on the parts.
4. Testovací uložení: Before applying adhesive, always test fit parts to ensure they align correctly. If parts do not fit, gently file or trim as needed.
5. Adhesive Application (Adhesive not included): Apply a small amount of appropriate plastic model adhesive (not included) to the joining surfaces. Hold parts together firmly until the adhesive sets.
6. Opakovat: Continue following the model kit's specific instructions, assembling sub-assemblies and then combining them into the final model.

5. Operating (Using the Tools)

The included tools are fundamental for precision and clean assembly:

• Sprue Cutter: Position the flat side of the cutter against the part to achieve a flush cut. Squeeze handles firmly but gently to avoid stress marks on the plastic.
• Hobby nůž: Always use a sharp blade. Make multiple light passes rather than one deep cut. When trimming, support the part firmly and cut on a protective surface.
• File: Use a light touch. For flat surfaces, use a flat file. For curved or intricate areas, the included file can be adapted. Always clean filings from the part and file.
• Pinzeta: Grip small parts securely but without excessive force to prevent damage. Useful for applying decals or placing tiny components.

6. Údržba

Proper care of your tools will ensure their longevity and performance:

• Čištění: After each use, wipe down tools to remove any plastic dust or adhesive residue.
• Skladování: Store tools in a dry place to prevent rust. Keep sharp tools in their protective covers or a tool organizer to prevent accidental injury and dulling.
• Výměna čepele: Replace hobby knife blades regularly when they become dull. A dull blade is more dangerous than a sharp one as it requires more force and can slip.

7. Řešení problémů

Encountering issues during model building is common. Here are some general tips:

• Nepadnoucí díly: Double-check the part numbers against the instructions. Gently file or sand contact points if a snug fit is required. Avoid forcing parts.
• Problémy s lepidlem: Ensure surfaces are clean and dry before applying adhesive. Use the correct type of adhesive for plastic models. Allow sufficient drying time.
• Rozbité části: Small breaks can often be repaired with plastic cement. For larger breaks, consider using a stronger adhesive or reinforcing with a small piece of plastic.
• Chybějící části: Carefully re-check the sprues and your workspace. If a part is genuinely missing, contact Revell customer support.
