Specifications

  • Scale: 1/72
  • Material: Polystyrene plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
  • Part Count: Detailed components
This kit suits intermediate modellers: parts have good detail and need careful trimming and alignment, but construction is straightforward with basic modelling tools.
Decals are included to represent period markings and national insignia. They are suitable for a realistic finish when applied over a smooth, well-painted surface.
Consider fine brushes, quality enamel or acrylic paints, and aftermarket thin masks for clean canopy edges. Light weathering and panel wash will add realism.
