This kit is better suited to modellers with some prior experience. Small parts and detailed assemblies may be challenging for a first build without basic modelling skills.
Start with a primer, then apply base coats with thin layers. Use reference photographs for accurate camouflage and finish with washes and matt or satin varnish depending on the desired look.
The kit includes external hardpoint detail for weapon and fuel tank mounting. Carefully paint and attach stores following the instructions to achieve a credible armed or ferry configuration.
