Does the Tamiya 12053 include decals for different liveries?

The kit includes a decal sheet reflecting the historical livery shown on the box art. Custom or alternate decals would need to be sourced separately.

Can the steering and suspension be posed after build?

Yes, the model is designed with movable steering and suspension components so you can adjust stance and steering angle for display.

Are photo-etched parts difficult to fit?

Photo-etched parts require careful handling and basic modelling tools. They add realism but need patience and fine-scale techniques to fit cleanly.
