Do I need special tools for the Academy 12335?

Basic modelling tools are sufficient, though fine tweezers and precision cutters will help with small parts.

Is the canopy supplied clear and ready to fit?

Yes. The clear parts are moulded to fit but should be masked carefully before painting to protect transparency.

Will this kit take aftermarket upgrades?

Modelers can add aftermarket decals or resin details to increase realism, but the kit itself already offers solid baseline detail.

How long does assembly typically take?

Build time varies with experience and finish level, but a careful build with painting can take several evenings to a few weekends.
