What glue is recommended for assembly?

Use polystyrene cement for main joins and cyanoacrylate for small or quick fixes; test fit parts before final gluing.

Is this kit accurate to the real aircraft?

The kit follows reference shapes and surface detail appropriate to 1/72 scale, making it a reliable representation for display purposes.

How do I apply the decals cleanly?

Soak decals briefly, slide into position on a gloss surface, and use decal setting solution to help them sit into panel recesses before sealing.

What finish works best for display?

A final coat of satin or matt varnish reduces shine and protects decals while giving a scale-accurate appearance.

Any tips for storing the finished model?

Keep models dust-free in a display case and avoid direct sunlight to prevent paint and decal fading over time.
