This kit is recommended for hobbyists aged 10 and up, as it contains small parts and requires the use of adhesive.
The kit includes the essential basic colors needed to finish the model as shown on the box.
The finished model is approximately 14 cm in length.
Yes, the kit includes Revell Aqua Color, which are water-based and easy to clean.
While the included glue is specifically formulated for these plastic kits, you can use other high-quality modeling cements if preferred.
Ensure that the plastic surfaces are free from mold release agents or paint by lightly sanding the bonding area before applying glue.
Apply a small amount of warm water to the decal backing and ensure the surface of the model is clean and slightly glossy before application.
Apply multiple thin coats rather than one thick layer, allowing each coat to dry completely in between.
To begin your build, ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace and a soft mat to prevent small pieces from bouncing away. Use a hobby knife to carefully remove plastic parts from the sprue frames, sanding any remaining burrs for a flush fit. The included water-based Aqua Color paints should be stirred well before use; if they seem too thick, a tiny drop of water can thin them down. Clean the included brush immediately after each painting session with warm water to maintain the bristles. When applying the glue, use small amounts to avoid melting the delicate plastic surfaces.
