Is this kit appropriate for first time ship builders?

While rewarding, the kit is better suited to modellers with some experience due to small parts and photo-etched components. Beginners can still attempt it with careful planning and practice on simpler kits first.

How are the hull parts produced?

The hull uses slide-moulded upper and lower sections for good surface detail and alignment. This construction eases assembly and improves the finished appearance when seams are properly prepared.

Can I add extra detailing or weathering?

Yes, the kit accepts aftermarket detail sets and weathering techniques like washes and drybrushing to enhance realism. Use fine brushes and thin paints to keep scale-appropriate effects.
