Modeling Guide:
·First step is to remove all molding lines and spurs from the bust, base and cap bill
·Next, wash the parts with soap and water to remove any mold release residue, and dry thoroughly
·Assemble the bust using super glue, any minor imperfections can be sanded or filled using epoxy putty or other filler
·Prime the bust and choose your paint colors. Use the photos with the kit as a guide or the many books that picture Civil War soldiers. The Osprey books have great color references. There are also many sources for color guides on the internet

·Please use caution when handling this kit
·This is NOT a toy and should be kept from children and pets
