Is this kit suitable for beginners?

The kit is approachable but contains many small parts; newcomers should allow time and work methodically, or consider practising on simpler kits first.

What finishing techniques suit this model?

Light primer, careful base coats, and thin washes highlight panel lines. Drybrushing and subtle weathering enhance realism without obscuring detail.

Are decant or aftermarket decals recommended?

Standard kit decals cover basic markings, but aftermarket sheets can provide additional options for historical accuracy and enhanced finisher choices.

Which glue is best for this kit?

Use solvent-based plastic cement for most assemblies and CA glue for metal-to-plastic joins or very small parts where instant bonding is needed.
