The kit is best for intermediate to advanced builders because of small parts and precise alignment needs; newcomers may find some sections fiddly.
Yes, aftermarket decal sheets for 1/35 British interwar vehicles are available and can add authentic markings—just check scale compatibility first.
Light washes, subtle chipping and dusting work well to evoke service wear; experiment on spare parts before applying to the main build.
Most components require plastic cement or super glue for a secure bond; some builders also use pins for extra strength on moving parts.
