Museum-style full hull rendition of the Furutaka

Requires assembly and painting

How long does building this kit usually take?

Build time depends on experience and finish. A careful assembly with painting and weathering can take several weekends, while a basic build might be completed in fewer sessions.

What paint types work best on this plastic?

Both acrylic and enamel paints adhere well after a light primer. Test colours on sprue scraps and use thinned layers for smooth coverage on small details.

Can I add aftermarket details or photo-etch?

Yes, the kit accepts aftermarket upgrades like photo-etch brass for railings and ladders. These parts can enhance scale realism but require steady hands to fit.

Are decals included and how durable are they?

Decals vary by release; handle them with care and seal with a clear coat for long-term protection. Setting solution helps conform decals to fine surface detail.
