What basic tools do I need to build this kit?

At minimum, you will need a sharp hobby knife, sanding sticks, plastic cement, tweezers and suitable paints for plastic models.

How long does a typical build take?

Build time varies by skill level, but expect several evenings to a few weekends for careful assembly and painting to achieve a display quality finish.

Are aftermarket parts available for upgrades?

Aftermarket options such as resin seats or photoetched details may exist from specialist suppliers; check scale accessories retailers for compatible items.

What painting approach works best for panel lines?

Use a thin pre-shading or post-shade wash to accentuate panel lines, and seal with a flat or satin varnish to protect the finish.

How should I store completed models?

Keep finished models away from direct sunlight and dust; a display case or covered shelf will preserve paint and decals over time.
