Specifications

  • Scale: 1/48
  • Material: Plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
Begin with a light primer, block out base colours with an airbrush or brush, then add highlights, shading and weathering to bring out panel lines and surface detail.
Aftermarket decal sheets exist for many WWII types. If you want a less common scheme, look for 1/48 A-20/Boston decal sets that match your chosen theatre.
Check alignment of fuselage halves and wing roots during dry fitting, and remove any flash or mould seams before final glue to ensure smooth joins.
Apply a gloss coat before decals, use setting solution where needed, then seal decals with a clear matt or satin varnish to protect and unify the finish.
