Is this kit suitable for first time builders?

It is better suited to modellers with some prior experience; small parts and alignment need patience and steady hands.

Do I need special paints for authenticity?

Use enamel or acrylic model paints matched to historical references for the best results; pre-shading and weathering will enhance realism.

How can I improve cockpit realism?

Add fine brushwork, drybrushing on controls, and a thin wash to reveal panel detail; consider clear varnish to protect decals and paintwork.
