Construction Notes and Model Qualities

This kit is better suited to modellers with some prior experience due to the number of small parts and the photo-etched component that requires fine work.
Use plastic cement for most parts and CA glue for photo-etched or mixed-material joins; apply sparingly and allow proper curing time for a strong bond.
Keep the finished model away from direct sunlight and dust by using a display case or covered shelf; avoid humid environments to protect decals and glued joins.
