Specifications

Beginners can try the model, but it is better suited to builders with some experience because of small parts and precise assembly steps. Take your time and use basic modelling tools.
The kit includes decals to represent authentic markings. As with many kits, careful decal application and setting solutions will improve the finished look.
Use hobby-grade plastic cement for assembly and acrylic or enamel model paints for the finish. Fine brushes and a matt or satin varnish help protect the painted surfaces.
