What skill level is recommended for this kit?

Intermediate skills are ideal to get the most from the kit, though determined beginners can complete it with patience. Experience with sanding and masking will help improve the final result.

Should I use a primer before painting?

Yes, a light primer helps paint adhesion and reveals small imperfections to address before the finish coats. Choose a primer compatible with your chosen paint system.

Where can I source spare or upgrade parts?

Spare parts and aftermarket upgrades are available from specialist retailers and online hobby shops. Check compatibility and scale before purchasing add ons.

How can I add weathering without obscuring detail?

Use thin washes to accent panel lines and selective dry brushing for subtle wear. Work in light layers and protect finished areas with a clear coat between stages.
