It is better suited to modellers with some experience. The small parts and alignment needs make it more challenging than beginner kits.
Yes, the kit can accept aftermarket resin or photoetched upgrades for enhanced detail, but careful fitting is required at 1/48 scale.
Refer to the instruction colour callouts and crosscheck references from reliable historical sources or paint manufacturers that publish WWII Luftwaffe palettes.
Use careful test-fitting, spot putty, sanding and re-scribing where necessary to preserve panel detail while hiding joins for a cleaner finish.
