Is this kit suitable for hobbyists new to scale modelling?

This kit is rated as a moderate challenge; beginners can attempt it but should be prepared for careful trimming, gluing and painting. Prior basic kit experience will help achieve a cleaner result.

Which paint type works best on this plastic model?

Acrylic or enamel paints are both suitable for the plastic parts. Test paints on a spare sprue, thin as recommended, and use masking for crisp camouflage edges.

How should I prepare the model for display?

Clean mould lines, dry fit major assemblies, and consider a light primer before final painting. A small base or stand helps protect delicate landing gear and shows off the model on a shelf.
