What level of experience is ideal for this kit?

The kit is best suited to intermediate or experienced modellers because of fine components and detailed assembly; newcomers should allow extra time and seek basic modelling guidance.

Is additional detailing recommended for accuracy?

The standard kit is accurate, but adding photo-etched parts, rigging and subtle weathering will raise realism for display-level builds.

How should I protect the decals after application?

After decal setting, use a clear varnish or matt coat to seal and protect markings from handling and to blend decals into the paintwork.
