What finishing techniques enhance realism on this kit?

Techniques like panel lining, light washes, and subtle weathering bring out panel detail and surface texture. Fine drybrushing can highlight raised edges without obscuring the moulded detail.

How much time should I allow for assembly and paint?

Time varies by experience and finishing choices; expect several focused sessions for assembly, plus additional time for painting and weathering. Rushing can reduce the quality of fit and finish.
