Yes, the kit is intended for detailed display models. With careful painting and decals, it becomes a strong showpiece for a shelf or cabinet.
The kit accepts common polish and detailing upgrades such as photoetched parts or aftermarket decals, but check fit before committing to modifications.
Use polystyrene cement or cyanoacrylate for stronger joins. Thin liquid cement works well for seamless joins on small parts.
