This kit is intended for experienced hobbyists; it involves sharp tools, glue, and small parts that pose a choking hazard.
No, both paint and glue must be purchased separately.
You will need sprue cutters (or side cutters), a hobby knife, fine-point tweezers, modeling glue, and model paints.
Yes, the model is designed to feature the variable-sweep wing functionality of the real aircraft.
No, this is a traditional plastic model kit that requires glue for permanent assembly.
At 1:144 scale, the finished model will be approximately 12-13 cm in length.
Check if excess glue has seeped into the wing pivot joint; use a needle file to gently clear any dried adhesive.
Ensure the surface is glossy before applying decals and use a decal setting solution to soften and conform them to the panel lines.
Use high-quality fine-tipped tweezers and a magnifying glass to maintain control over tiny landing gear and antenna components.
To begin construction, ensure you have a clean workspace with good lighting. Before gluing any parts, use a hobby knife to remove plastic burrs from the sprue attachment points. Because the kit relies on plastic cement to bond, apply glue sparingly to avoid melting delicate surface details. For painting, acrylic-based modeling paints are recommended for their ease of cleanup and low odor. Store the finished model away from direct sunlight to prevent the plastic from becoming brittle or the decals from fading over time.
