Prepare the stripped casting
The body is stripped and ready for your paint and finishing choices. Plan the intended appearance and prepare the surface with materials suited to your build. The product description does not specify a particular paint system or list required supplies, so follow the directions for the materials you select.
Before final assembly, test-fit the components. The kit is designed to click together; model glue or rubber cement may be used for extra hold. A dry fit helps you check the assembly points before paint or adhesive can affect how the pieces meet.
Staggered front and rear wheel sizing
The factory wheel sizing is 10 mm in front and 12 mm in the rear. Keep this staggered setup in mind if you want to follow the factory reference. If you choose replacement wheels, verify that they fit the 1988 Thunderbird Drag Car casting before ordering.
