What basic tools do I need to build this kit?

A hobby knife, sprue cutters, fine files, model cement, tweezers and sanding paper will cover the essentials for assembly and finishing.

Are clear parts included and how should they be handled?

Clear canopy parts are included; handle them by the edges, avoid solvents on clear plastic and mask before painting to prevent scratches.

Can I display the model with landing gear down?

Yes, the kit supports a static display with landing gear down; ensure gear doors and struts are aligned during assembly for a neat appearance.

Is weathering recommended for realism?

Light weathering with washes and drybrushing enhances panel lines and surface wear, bringing out the kit's detail without overpowering the decals.

Do the character decals require a special setting solution?

Use a mild decal setting solution to help complex decals conform to curved surfaces; test on a scrap area first to check compatibility with your clear coat.
