Is this kit suited to a first-time submarine build?

If you are new to submarines, this kit may be challenging; novice builders should be ready to handle small parts and precise joins.

Do parts need cleanup before gluing?

Yes, remove flash and test-fit components for the best seam lines. Light sanding and careful handling improve the final fit.

Can I add weathering to the model?

Weathering like washes and subtle dry-brushing can add realism, especially on larger surfaces to reveal panel lines and texture.

What display options work well?

A clear acrylic support or waterline base offers a clean presentation while protecting thin parts and maintaining a museum-style look.
