To learn modeling tricks and techniques, visit www.round2models.com/workbenchC-57D model kit researched, designed, built and photographed by E. James Small.

• Before assembling model, study diagram carefully.• Take time to familiarize yourself with all the parts and their

corresponding part numbers.• Carefully cut the parts from the plastic tree supports and remove burrs.• For best results, assemble model exactly in the order indicated.• This kit is molded of styrene plastic – use only styrene compatible

glues or cements.• Do not hurry. Work carefully and patiently.• Apply cement to inside surfaces only. Avoid getting cement on outer

surfaces of model sections.

• Before applying cement to parts, it is advisable to dry fit parts (assemble without cement) first so that you may familiarize yourself with the kit and how it will assemble, also noting the points where cement would be best applied.

• Use cement very sparingly. Avoid getting cement on hands, so as not to mar or smear plastic surfaces.

• For best results, use only high quality paints designed specifically for plastic model kits.
