Why this kit appeals to modellers

Tips for a tidy build and display

Builders will find parts that are generally well matched, though trimming and test-fitting are advisable for the best results. Paint and decals are applied after assembly to bring out the aircrafts lines; once finished, the CR.42 CN Falco makes an attractive shelf model without taking up much space.

Yes, this kit assembles into a clean display model; minimal extras are needed if you focus on neat joins and accurate painting.
