Can I show moving propellers when completed?

The kit is designed for static display; adding a simple spindle to allow rotation is possible but requires careful modification of the propeller and shaft areas.

Is there a recommended primer and paint brand?

Choose a plastic-compatible primer and model acrylics or enamels from established hobby brands, and test colours on scrap plastic to match historical tones.

How should I store the finished model to protect the finish?

Keep the model out of direct sunlight and in a dust free cabinet; consider a clear display case to prevent dust and accidental knocks.

Are there common fit issues to watch for?

Check alignment of fuselage halves and engine nacelles before gluing to avoid gaps; dry fit parts and sand mating surfaces for a seamless join.

Where can I find reference photos for authentic detailing?

Aviation archives, museum collections and specialist scale modelling forums are good sources for cockpit and marking references to achieve accurate detailing.
