What paints match the 1942 US Navy scheme?

Standard US Navy 1940s colours include deck greys and hull blues; check historical references and manufacturer's paint charts for exact shades before airbrushing.

Are instructions clear for beginners?

The kit comes with step-by-step illustrations; novices should work slowly through small subassemblies and dry-fit parts before gluing.

Does the kit include photoetched parts?

This release is primarily injection-moulded plastic with a decal sheet; photoetched upgrades are available separately for finer detail.

What display options suit this scale?

A glazed cabinet or naval diorama base at tabletop scale highlights the model well; add crew figures or water effects for extra realism.
