Specifications

Scale: 1/700
Assembly Required: Yes
Paint and Glue: Not Included
Material: Plastic

Is special tooling required to assemble the kit?

Basic modelling tools like sprue cutters, files, and fine brushes are sufficient. A sharp hobby knife and tweezers will help with small parts.

Does the kit include aircraft for the flight deck?

This box focuses on the carrier hull and deck details; any onboard aircraft would be listed on the kit box if included, so check the pack contents before starting.

Can I add aftermarket photo-etch parts?

Yes, many modellers fit photo-etch detail sets for railings and deck fittings to enhance realism, provided the parts are scaled for 1/700.

What glue is best for this plastic?

Polystyrene cement provides strong bonds for the kit's plastic. For tiny or clear parts, use a cyanoacrylate (super glue) applied sparingly.
