What skill level suits this kit?

This kit is targeted at experienced modellers due to fine parts and the need for careful painting. Novices should expect a steeper learning curve.

How accurate are the supplied decals?

Decals are printed to match the original XR79 livery; careful application and a setting solution will improve their appearance on curved surfaces.

What tools will I need to assemble this model?

Basic modelling tools such as sprue cutters, hobby knife, sanding sticks, plastic cement and fine brushes are essential. An airbrush and primer will help achieve smoother finishes.

Can I add aftermarket details to improve realism?

Yes, many builders add photo-etched parts, wiring and fine decals to enhance realism. Check compatibility and scale carefully before fitting upgrades.

How should I finish the model for long-term preservation?

A final clear coat will protect paint and decals; store the model away from direct sunlight and dust. Avoid high humidity to prevent decal lift and paint damage.
