This kit captures key airframe shapes and surface detail for a satisfying build.

Construction notes and presentation options

This 1/72 kit includes small, precise parts that suit modellers comfortable with trimming and careful gluing. When completed, the model is ideal for compact displays or combined scenes with other 1/72 era aircraft.

Specifications

  • Scale - 1/72
  • Material: polystyrene plastic
  • Requires adhesive assembly
  • Paint not supplied
The cockpit has basic instrument and seat detail suited to 1/72 scale; careful painting will enhance the overall look and bring out the small features.
Yes, the kit includes decal sheets for authentic wartime markings, but you will need clear coats to protect and blend them after application.
Basic modelling tools are sufficient, though fine files, a sharp blade and steady tweezers make handling the smaller pieces much easier.
