What level of finish can I expect from the kit?

With careful painting and decal work you can achieve a museum quality finish; the kit provides the necessary surface detail to support weathering and shading techniques.

Are the instruction sheets clear for first time builders?

The instructions outline assembly steps and decal placement. New modellers should review each stage before gluing and consider dry fitting parts first.

Can the kit be customised with aftermarket parts?

Yes, there are aftermarket cockpits and photo etch sets for 1/48 that will enhance detail, but check fit and compatibility before fitting.

Is painting required to complete the model?

Paints are not included, so plan to use appropriate acrylic or enamel paints to finish the airframe and cockpit to your chosen scheme.

How should I store assembled models to protect them?

Keep finished models in a dust free cabinet away from direct sunlight and handle them minimally to preserve paint and decals.
