The kit contains two complete sets of single-track tunnel portals.
The Tunnel Mouth dimensions are Length 120mm, Width 31mm, Height 120mm. The Side Walls are Length 154mm, Width 19mm, Height 106mm.
Yes, the kit is designed to be customizable during construction, allowing for modifications to suit your specific layout.
While it's a detailed kit, beginners can successfully assemble it by carefully following the included instructions and using appropriate glues and painting techniques.
Ensure all parts are correctly identified according to the instructions and that no flash or excess plastic is present on the joining surfaces. Trim or sand lightly if needed.
Verify that the correct type of plastic glue is being used and that surfaces are clean and dry before application. Ensure sufficient glue is applied and parts are held together until the bond sets.
Ensure model surfaces are clean and free of dust before painting. Apply thin, even coats of paint and allow adequate drying time between layers. Consider using a primer for better adhesion and a smoother finish.
