This kit is aimed at intermediate modellers due to its small parts and required attention to detail. Those new to scale modelling can still attempt it but should allow extra time for careful assembly.
Aftermarket items like resin seats or photo etched details can improve realism, but check compatibility with the Hasegawa kit before fitting to avoid modification issues.
Clean parts to remove mould release, sand seams lightly and apply a primer. This improves paint adhesion and highlights any gaps that need filling prior to final finishing.
