The kit is best for intermediate to advanced model builders. It involves detailed parts and careful gluing and painting to achieve a realistic finish.
Use polystyrene-compatible acrylics or enamel paints designed for model kits. Prime parts first for even coverage and better adhesion.
Standard modelling tools such as sprue cutters, fine files, tweezers and precision glue are recommended. A hobby knife and sanding sticks help achieve tight fits.
Mount the model on a plain plinth or small diorama base to protect it from dust and to highlight details. Keep direct sunlight to a minimum to preserve paint tones.
