Background on the invention

Yes, the Academy 18138 is suitable for those new to historical models, though careful trimming and gluing are needed to get neat results.
Modelers often add fine paintwork, subtle weathering or small metal parts to enhance realism, but the kit is complete as supplied for a satisfying display.
Keep the model dust-free and avoid direct sunlight to preserve colour. If parts are painted, handle by the base or display stand to avoid wear.
