Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Glue required
  • Paint: Not included
Yes. The kit ships unpainted so using acrylic or enamel model paints will be necessary to achieve authentic markings and finishes.
This is best for intermediate to advanced builders due to fine parts and alignment needs; beginners may complete it with patience and prior modelling practice.
Use liquid polystyrene cement for strong joins and fine tweezers, sanding sticks, and a hobby knife for trimming. An airbrush or fine brushes help with accurate paintwork.
