Do these parts replace any kit components?

Some brass pieces are intended as direct upgrades for specific kit elements, while others are additions; check the item shapes against your kit before removing original parts.

Which paints adhere best to brass?

Use a primer formulated for metal first, then finish with acrylic or enamel paints. A light sand or chemical etch improves primer adhesion on brass surfaces.

Are any special tools required for shaping parts?

Simple hobby tools like fine files, jewellers pliers and a small drill are usually sufficient. Avoid heavy-handed bending to prevent work hardening the brass.

How should I store leftover brass fittings?

Keep spare parts in a dry, labelled box or small zip bags to prevent tarnish and to ensure you can locate them easily for future projects.
