I/48 Gas mask

Recommended procedure

1. Soak the parts in hot water before removing supports. The resin softens slightly, reducing the risk of chipping during cutting or drilling, and regains its hardness after cooling.
2. Remove supports in small sections with fine cutters and clean the contact points carefully to protect thin edges and small details.
3. Degrease the parts, allow them to dry and apply a thin primer coat. Check colours and placement against period photographs or references for the intended scene.
4. Bond the resin parts with a small amount of cyanoacrylate adhesive. Polystyrene cement will not join them.

The set contains only the resin accessories listed; figures, vehicle, weapons beyond the stated contents and display base are not included.

Use suitable model paints and primers and cyanoacrylate adhesives for assembly and finishing.
