Which adhesives work best for small plastic parts?

Plastic solvent cements are recommended for strong bonds on 1/700 parts; use them sparingly and in a well-ventilated area. Thin liquid glues also help for tight joints and delicate fittings.

What scale accessories can enhance the build?

Photo-etch railings, aftermarket aircraft and fine decals are popular upgrades. They add realism at this scale but require steady hands and suitable tools to fit correctly.

Yes, the 1/700 scale makes it practical to incorporate into a larger diorama showing multiple ships or air operations, especially when paired with other ships in the same scale.
