Is this kit suitable for a first-time modeller?

Not ideal for absolute beginners. Small parts and fiddly assembly favour those with some prior modelling experience.

Are aircraft parts included with the kit?

Yes. The kit includes basic aircraft components to position on the flight deck, enhancing realism when painted and placed correctly.

What upgrades are common for this kit?

Modellers sometimes add photo-etched brass details, brass prop shafts or aftermarket decals to sharpen railings and deck fittings.

How should I prepare for painting?

Wash parts to remove mould release, sand seams lightly and use a primer before applying final colours. Masking helps keep deck markings crisp.
