Can I display this model without painting?

While the kit can be assembled without paint, applying recommended colours improves realism. Painted panels and chrome effects will make the model more convincing on a shelf or in a cabinet.

Are replacement parts available if I break a piece?

Check with suppliers or the manufacturer for spare parts. Small, generic modelling supplies like glue and filler are typically the quickest fixes for minor damage.
