FAQs
Is paint included in the box?
No, paint and glue are not included and must be purchased separately.
What is the skill level required for this kit?
This is an intermediate to advanced level kit due to the 299-part count and complexity.
Does the kit come with a display stand?
The kit is intended to be displayed on its included landing gear; a flight stand is not provided.
Can I use standard super glue for assembly?
Plastic cement is recommended as it chemically welds the pieces together, providing a stronger bond than super glue.

Troubleshooting
Poor fit on fuselage seams
Use thin plastic cement to melt the edges slightly and clamp firmly. Use plastic putty to fill gaps before sanding.
Decals not adhering properly
Ensure the surface is gloss-coated before decal application and use a decal setting solution to soften and conform the markings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Assembly requires standard modeling tools including sprue cutters, hobby knives, fine-grit sandpaper, and model-specific plastic cement. As this kit does not include paints, ensure you have a selection of acrylic or enamel paints suitable for modern Russian camouflage patterns. Once assembled, store the model away from direct sunlight to prevent decal fading or plastic warping over time. If transporting the model, use a protective display case as the landing gear and pitot tubes are delicate and prone to breakage.
