What is the recommended paint type for this kit?

Many builders use acrylics or enamel paints for hull and superstructure. Test colours on spare sprues to match historical shades and achieve even coverage.

Can I add photo-etch or aftermarket parts?

Yes, the kit accepts common photo-etch upgrades and replacement fittings to enhance railings, ladders, and other fine details if you want higher realism.

Is the build suitable for first-time ship modellers?

This kit is best for modellers with some experience due to small parts and detailed assemblies, but patient beginners can complete it with time and careful handling.

How should I display the finished model?

A simple wooden base or clear acrylic stand highlights the hull and protects the model. Consider a display case to keep dust off delicate rigging and small parts.
