This kit is aimed at hobbyists with some modelling experience. The level of detail and fitting work means beginners will face a learning curve.

A sharp hobby knife, fine files, plastic cement, tweezers and steady clamps are useful. Taking time with dry fitting and sanding improves the final fit and finish.
