Is the Academy 12127 kit suitable for beginners?

This kit is best for modellers with some experience. It includes fine parts that require patience and basic modelling skills like trimming, gluing and sanding.

What paints should I use for an authentic finish?

Choose hobby paints that match USMC tones and apply a primer before topcoats. Acrylics or enamels both work; use washes and drybrushing to bring out panel lines and surface detail.

How do I apply the shark mouth decal cleanly?

Soak the decal and position carefully on a gloss surface. Use decal setting solution if available and seal the decal with a clear coat to blend edges before weathering.
