This is a 1:87 scale model kit.

While the instructions are clear, the 1:87 scale involves small, intricate parts that are better suited for hobbyists with some previous modeling experience.
Check that all plastic burrs or sprue attachment points have been trimmed clean with a hobby knife.
Ensure the surface is clean and consider using a decal setting solution to help the decal conform to the plastic texture.
To begin construction, ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace. Use model-grade plastic glue for assembly rather than standard superglue to ensure the plastic bonds correctly without marring the finish. For care, keep the finished model in a climate-controlled environment. If the model gathers dust, use a soft, dry makeup brush to gently sweep debris from the deck and cabin areas. Do not use chemical cleaners or water to clean the model, as these can damage the paint and decals.
