Tamiya 87003 Plastic Model Glue Cement 40mL The most classic and renowned Tamiya glue, in 40 ml glass bottle. It is used to glue the plastic parts of your model, and it is recommended for experienced modelers who need a liquid glue to join parts without any adhesive remains

Micro Set is a very versatile decal setting solution that does several things to Microscale Decals to improve application. Micro Set should be applied to the surface of the model where you will be sliding the decal off the paper backing. Micro Set prepares the surface with special wetting agents that cut the oils in new paint and converts the adhesive on the back of the decal to a stronger and longer lasting one. In addition, Micro Set slightly softens the decal film to make it more flexible so that it will conform better to the model's surface. Better adhesion of the decal to the model prevents tiny air bubbles from forming and results in an invisible carrier film for the so-called "painted on look." To apply Micro Set: Use a soft flat artist's brush and apply Micro Set where you are going to apply the decal. Then slide the decal off the backing paper using a small pointed tip synthetic bristle brush to carefully position the decal in its proper position. Blot the decal carefully with a tissue or paper toweling, being careful not to disturb its position. Allow the decal to dry overnight. It will then be ready for a protective coat of Micro Coat Flat, Satin or Gloss.

Micro Sol setting solution is for the most difficult irregular surfaces to be found on models. It completely softens the Microscale Decal, allowing it to drape down onto the surface of the model, conforming perfectly to surface irregularities without distortion. The most amazing results in seemingly impossible places are possible because Micro Sol actually makes the decal part of the painted surface. For that reason, you should coat Micro Sol on for only a few seconds and then leave it alone. It does the work. Do not touch until the decal has dried, as the decal is very soft at this stage and could be easily damaged. For the best results, first apply Micro Sol to prepare the surface and enhance the adhesive. Make sure the surface is free of particles that could get under the decal's film and cause a blemish. Then, when everything is dry enough that the decal will not move easily, apply Micro Sol with a small flat brush. Apply with as few strokes as possible so a not to disturb the decal. Then allow the decal to dry without disturbing it. One application is enough in most cases but, if necessary, a second application of Micro Sol can be helpful.

Milliput Terracotta 2-part epoxy is a versatile and durable adhesive putty that, once mixed, can be shaped and applied to various surfaces for repairs, sculpting, and modeling projects with a natural terracotta finish.

Ultimate ultra-thin single-edge structure brings excellent performance and efficiency!  GodHand Ultimate Nipper 5.0 is designed for the ultimate cut with a strong focus on gate cutting. When trying to slice-cut a 3 mm dia. runner, the blade moves in smoothly and finishes cutting without sound. The sharpness of the cutting edge achieves a smooth cut surface as if sharpened with a design knife and minimizes plastic whitening (a phenomenon in which the cut section turns white). Compared to most nippers, the cut surface is much cleaner and neater, which makes it a good choice for those who want to complete plastic models without painting. For those who paint plastic models, the cutting surface remains smooth and clean even if the blade is cut along the part without leaving a gate, thus shortening the time for gate processing with files or knives. When cutting out small parts, parts are less likely to fly away, reducing the need to search for missing parts. The standard force for cutting 3 mm dia. plastic is 2 kg or less. (General nippers are 3.5 kg to 10 kg) Cutting Edge and Single-Edged Structure Designed for Superior Sharpness GodHand Ultimate Nipper 5.0 superior sharpness comes from its thinly refined cutting edge and single-edge structure for a clean cutting. Ultra-thin cutting edge by craftsmanship Ultimate Nipper’s well-crafted cutting edge is as thin and sharp as a knife.It is created one by one through blade edging and sharpening by well-experienced craftspersons in Tsubame-Sanjo, Niigata Prefecture, a region famous for its cutlery. Single-edge structure for clean cutting Ultimate Nipper adopts a single-edged blade structure for clean cutting surfaces. Single-edged blade structure refers to a design in which one side of the blade is a cutting blade, and the other side is a cutting board blade. The blade is named ‘single-edged’ because only one blade (cutting edge) cuts on one side.  Specification Material: Special tool steel (made by Kobe Steel, Ltd.) Total length: approx. 120 mm Weight: approx. 60 g Blade hardness: ≧ HRC58 Single-edge specification Blade breakage prevention stopper Over-opening prevention pin Spring loaded Soft grip With original nipper cap Cutting capacity Target materials: Plastic (PS resin, PP resin, ABS resin, PE resin) only Cutting capacity: Materials of < 3 mm dia. However, transparent and translucent PS resins are limited to < 1 mm dia for hardness.

This tool allows you to smoothly disassemble snap-fit model parts that have already been assembled. Instead of prying, it works by gently pushing the parts apart, letting you separate them little by little. This reduces the risk of scratches or damage on parts. The sharp tip easily fits into tight seams between firmly connected parts. Thanks to its slim and elongated shape, you can insert it from the backside of parts, minimizing the risk of visible surface damage. Extremely sharp blade tip: It easily slips into the seams of parts, allowing them to be opened simply by pushing in. There is no need to pry, which minimizes the risk of damaging the parts. Slim, elongated blade: It can reach deep into narrow areas of parts. Even if minor scratches occur, they are likely to be in areas that are not visible from the outside.

When building a scale model, cotton swabs are often used with painting and applying decals. However, cotton swabs bought from supermarkets usually have loosely spun tips and quickly lose shape. These Craft Cotton Swabs have tightly spun cotton tips and are easy to use, making them much better suited for hobby use.Features These are industrial strength cotton swabs, and compared with those found in supermarkets, they do not fray as easily when wet or dipped in solvents, resulting in less wastage. These swabs are great for applying decals and panel lining onto model surfaces. Creating fine details and weathering on small areas becomes a breeze. You can also use the swabs effectively for applying any of the Weathering Master Set color schemes, such as realistic rust stains, to your model.
