Is this kit appropriate for a first-time modeller?

This kit is generally aimed at modellers with some experience due to detailed parts and careful fit required. Beginners can tackle it but should expect to spend time on trimming and alignment.

What types of paint work best on the plastic?

Enamel or acrylic model paints adhere well after a light wash and primer. Many builders prefer an airbrush for even coats, but brush painting is fine for smaller details.

Are the decals accurate for historical schemes?

The kit decals provide authentic markings for the included scheme, though weathering and careful application improve realism and longevity.
