What skill level suits this kit?

It suits intermediate modellers who are comfortable with precise painting and decal placement; beginners with patience can complete it too.

Will the decals reproduce fine markings well?

The supplied super decals are designed for high detail at 1/72 and should render the insignia and nose art crisply when applied with proper setting solution.

Are the wings and control surfaces separate parts?

Major surfaces are moulded as separate components to aid alignment and allow subtle seam work for a cleaner finish.

Is clear coating recommended after decals?

Yes, a flat or satin clear coat will protect decals and unify the painted finish for a more realistic appearance.
