Specifications

The kit has a fair level of complexity with many small components, so it is best suited to modellers comfortable with trimming and careful gluing.
Period finishes vary, but neutral grey tones and subtle weathering will replicate the typical Cold War scheme. Choose hobby paints recommended for plastic models.
Decals are usually supplied in the box, covering national markings and stencils; check the instruction sheet for placement guidance.
Dry fit parts first, use thin plastic cement for panel seams, and sand lightly between glue applications to maintain accurate lines.
