I have several of the Airport Designs kits and they are very good, but a few tips. Glue the sheets on to the thinnest sheets of Plasticard you can buy, as it will strengthen them. Also cut out the designs using a metal ruler and sharp knife or razor, which will give a much sharper finish than just using scissors.
Take your time and leave each section to dry overnight and I'm sure you'll be pleased with a little patience.
