ASSEMBLY ADVICE

ASSEMBLY ADVICE

Some parts of the model are attached using screws whilst some 
simply push-fit together. Other parts will need to be glued in 
place using superglue (Cyanoacrylate or CA). Always follow the 
manufacturers guidelines and warnings, apply sparingly and use in a 
well ventilated space. Superglue gel (thick superglue) can be applied 
with pin-point accuracy to the relevant surface using a cocktail stick. 
Where possible, parts should be test-fitted in place before glueing.
The instructions are numbered to indicate the correct order of 
construction and also include tips and tricks to make the assembly 
of the model as easy as possible.
To protect the paint finish on the components use a clean piece of 
white paper on your work surface to build on.
Take care when opening the moulded packaging and try to leave 
parts in their recesses until required to avoid losing pieces.

Always read through the instructions carefully and study the 
illustrations before starting the assembly.

The first phase of the model’s assembly starts with the upper jaw, 

which will become part of the Xenomorph’s skull.
