    It's to wash the parts. One tip I learned in forums of plastimodelismo, since the pieces comes with a type of oil, washing helps in the adhesion of the paint and in the quality of the painting.

    It is to help get the plastic parts out of the molds during manufacturing.

    Coronation kit I made for Starscream. I used the head of the Cyclonus CW Combiner, pvc boards and pack blister molded with hot candle. I painted with national acrylic paints and bright varnish.
