How long does assembly typically take for Hasegawa 51042?

Assembly time varies with experience, but expect several evenings for careful construction and painting. Allow extra time for the folding wing build and finishing touches.

Are there recommended paint schemes or references?

Reference photos and wartime records are useful for accurate colours and markings. The decal sheet provides primary markings, but you can research unit variations for added authenticity.
