Can I paint this kit with brush paints?

Yes, brush painting is possible, especially for small parts. Use thin, even coats and a primer to help the paint adhere to PS plastic.

Are the clear parts distortion free?

Clear parts are moulded to show window curves accurately. Handle them with care to avoid scratches and use a soft cloth when cleaning before gluing.

What adhesives are recommended?

Plastic cement designed for polystyrene gives the strongest bonds. For clear parts, use clear part adhesive or double-sided tape to avoid fogging.

Is extra detailing needed for a museum-quality finish?

The kit is accurate out of the box, but adding interior detailing, wiring, or aftermarket photoetched parts can elevate the build to a higher display standard.

How should I store the completed model?

Keep finished models away from direct sunlight and dust. A display case or covered shelf prevents UV fading and reduces the need for frequent cleaning.
