How long does assembly typically take?

Assembly time varies with experience, but expect multiple evenings for careful construction, cleaning of parts and painting to achieve a high-quality finish.

Are aftermarket photo-etch parts recommended?

Photo-etch upgrades can enhance railings and ladders for greater realism, especially at 1/700 scale where plastic detail can be limited.

What adhesives work best for small parts?

Use a fine liquid plastic cement for most joins and a small amount of cyanoacrylate for metal or photo-etch items to ensure secure bonds.
