What skill level is best for this Trumpeter 05743 kit?

The kit is aimed at intermediate to advanced builders due to small parts and fine detail, but patient beginners with basic modelling tools can complete it with care.

Are the decals accurate for the 1942 appearance?

The decal sheet reflects US Navy markings used in the period and supports an authentic 1942 finish when applied carefully and sealed with clear coat.

What tools and glue are recommended?

Use a fine hobby knife, tweezers, plastic cement for polystyrene, and hobby paint brushes or an airbrush for best results. Superglue can be used for photoetched or resin upgrades.
