Specifications

New builders can tackle this kit but should expect several fiddly assemblies; prior experience with 1/35 kits or supervision helps.
There are third-party accessories like metal barrels and photo-etch detail sets that can enhance realism, but the kit is detailed enough on its own.
Small diorama bases showing period terrain or a simple plinth both suit this gun; include figures or ammunition crates to add scale context.
