How do I remove parts from the trees?
“The words “runners”, “sprues” and “trees” all basically mean the same thing. They are the holders that the parts are attached to.”

Questions & answers
Why do some parts in my kit have rough edges or flash?
“Plastic model kit parts will sometimes have a rough edge or “mold parting line” on them as a result of the plastic injection manufacturing process. These lines can be removed by lightly sanding the edge off the part with a small file, emery board, or sandpaper.”
I have extra parts left over that were not needed to build my model. Why?
“Many of our kits can be built in more than one way, with many optional parts. Often this results in good parts being left over.”
When should the model's parts be painted, before or after assembly?
“We recommend painting the parts and allowing them to dry fully before assembling them. Or, for small sub assemblies such as an engine block where a number of parts will all be painted the same color, those parts may be assembled first and then painted as a single unit.”
