What paint approach works best for this kit?

An enamel or acrylic base with thin, even coats produces best results; use masking for complex camouflage and allow thorough drying between coats.

Any tips for masking the canopy?

Use low tack masking tape cut to fit the frames or pre-cut masks if available; paint the canopy after masking to protect clear parts from overspray.

Which adhesives are recommended?

Polystyrene cement is ideal for most joins; thin CA is useful for tiny fittings and quick tack joins, used sparingly to avoid fogging clear parts.

Should I use decal setting solutions?

Yes, decal softening and setting solutions help decals conform to panel lines and raised detail; apply on a gloss surface for best adhesion and finish.

How do I maintain the model on display?

Keep the model away from direct sunlight, dust regularly with a soft brush and avoid touching painted surfaces to preserve the finish.
