No, this kit requires the separate purchase of model glue, paint, and finishing tools.
This model is in 1:72 scale.
It is rated at Skill Level 2, making it ideal for those who have basic experience with model building.
The kit consists of 37 high-quality plastic parts.
The finished model has a wingspan of 152mm.
The kit includes two genuine historical paint scheme options.
Check for excess plastic flashing at the injection points and carefully trim with a hobby knife.
Use fine-tipped tweezers to position delicate components like struts or wing fittings before applying glue.
Ensure the plastic surface is wiped clean of skin oils and manufacturing residue with a damp cloth before painting.
To begin construction, ensure you have a clean, well-lit workspace and a set of basic modeling tools, including side cutters, a hobby knife, and precision model glue. While paint is not included, water-based acrylic paints are recommended for safety and ease of cleanup. Before assembly, it is good practice to dry-fit parts to ensure alignment. Once completed, keep your Avro 504K away from direct sunlight or high-heat areas to prevent the plastic from warping or the paint from fading over time. Use a soft, dry brush occasionally to remove dust from the wings.
