Macross Destroid Defender Build Summary

Yes, the snap-fit parts and clear assembly flow make it accessible for newcomers, while still offering painting and finishing choices for more experienced builders.
The kit typically includes basic markings; using aftermarket decals or custom paint can add unit-specific insignia and fine details.
Basic tools like side cutters, a hobby knife, fine files, and sanding sticks will help remove runners and tidy joints before finishing.
