Modellers often add photo-etched parts, resin seats or aftermarket wheels to increase realism. Check compatibility and trim where necessary to fit upgrades.
Research period references and use thin coats with proper masking for panel lines. Gloss coats before decals help them sit smoothly on the surface.
Some retailers and manufacturers offer replacement parts. Keep the kit number to help locate spares for common items such as small trim pieces.
Apply decals to a smooth gloss surface to prevent silvering. Use a soft brush and setting solution to conform decals over curves and panel detail.
Liquid polystyrene cement applied with a fine brush gives clean joins. Avoid excess and allow joints to cure fully before sanding or painting.
