The kit is aimed at modellers with some experience due to fine parts and rigging. Enthusiasts with basic skills can still build it, but should take their time with small assemblies and painting.
Apply a decal setting solution if needed, then seal the decals with a clear varnish. A flat or satin topcoat will also help integrate the markings with the paintwork.
Reference books and reputable online archives provide period photos and painting guides. Cross-check multiple sources to match squadron codes and camouflage patterns accurately.
