Specifications

  • Scale: 1:72
  • Material: PS plastic
  • Assembly: Requires glue
  • Paint: Not included
The kit is well proportioned out of the box, but experienced builders may choose resin seats or photoetch to boost cockpit realism.
Fit is generally good, though some seams will benefit from light filler and sanding to achieve a smooth finish prior to painting.
Use model acrylics or enamels matched to period references; a subtle wash and matt varnish will help bring out panel detail on the 1:72 scale model.
