What skill level suits this model

This is best tackled by intermediate to experienced modellers due to the high part count and fine detail work required.

How should I apply the decals for best results

Use a decal softener and apply on a gloss surface; allow decals to settle before sealing with a clear coat to avoid silvering on raised panel lines.

Can I display this with landing gear down or folded

The kit supports both display options where applicable; check the instructions for gear and flap positions to match your chosen vignette.

Is anything needed to finish the cockpit beyond the kit parts

The kit includes instrument film and basic cockpit detail, but modellers often add small painting highlights or aftermarket decals for extra realism.

What is the decal marking provided in the box

The supplied decals cover White 45, an SBD-5 from VB-16 aboard USS LEXINGTON in 1943, as listed in the specifications.
