How difficult is the Trumpeter 61602 to build?

Expect a moderate to high difficulty level; the kit has many small parts and requires steady hands and experience with glue and painting.

Are decals or markings included?

This kit does not include paint or decals, so plan marking options ahead and source suitable decals if you want unit-specific insignia.

What adhesive works best?

Some subassemblies can be left unglued for adjustable parts, but many sections are best fixed permanently for strength and accurate alignment.
