No, the kit is primarily snap-fit and does not require glue. Some modellers choose to use a small amount of glue for permanent joins or added strength on specific parts.
At 1/72 scale, selective painting and washes work well to emphasise panel lines and mechanical detail. Use fine brushes or an airbrush for smoother coverage on larger panels.
Yes, its 1/72 scale makes it compatible with other subjects at the same scale, allowing you to build compact scenes that mix mecha and vehicles or figures.
Like most snap-fit kits, you will need to remove nubs and tidy mold lines. A sharp hobby knife and a few sanding sticks make quick work of cleanup and improve the final look.
If decals are included, they are straightforward to apply using tweezers and a small dish of water. For better adhesion and realism, consider using decal setting solution and sealing with a clear coat.
