Is masking needed for the canopy?

Masking the canopy is recommended to protect clear parts and achieve sharp paint lines. Pre-cut masks may be available from accessory makers if you prefer not to cut your own.

Do decals require setting solutions?

Using decal setting and softening solutions will help the waterslide decals conform to panel lines and irregular surfaces for a more painted-on look.

Can I add weapons loadouts from other kits?

Some modellers adapt weapons from compatible 1/48 accessories or kits, but check scale and pylon fit. Minor trimming or adapters may be needed for a secure fit.
