Before assembly, check the fit and remove the release agent with isopropyl alcohol or acetone. Cut off sprues with a saw/cutter. Wear a dust mask or respiratory mask when machining to avoid inhaling dust particles.
Carefully heat warped parts (e.g. with a hairdryer) and bend them into shape. Glue with 2K or superglue. Unpainted cast parts darken over time and can turn yellow - especially when exposed to UV light.
The aviation troops of the KuK Monarchy did not have their own uniform. The detached troops simply continued to wear their previous uniform. The only identifying mark was a small balloon badge, which was worn on the paroli (collar patch) and sometimes on the left side of the cap.
