No, this kit is sold as a model set; you will need to purchase plastic cement and model paints separately.
These figures are in 1:76 scale, which is compatible with most standard Airfix military dioramas.
Yes, they are molded in plastic and are unpainted, requiring assembly and painting for a finished look.
The set contains 55 pieces in total, including figures, horses, and a chariot.
While it is a classic set, it contains small parts and requires sharp tools and glue, so it is recommended for older children with adult supervision or adult hobbyists.
Ensure you are using a high-quality polystyrene cement and that the plastic surfaces are free of paint or oil.
Apply a thin layer of model primer to the figures before painting to provide a better surface for the paint to adhere to.
Use a pair of side cutters or a sharp hobby knife to carefully snip parts rather than twisting them off, which can cause snapping.
This kit is intended for 1:76 scale modeling. For setup, ensure you have a dedicated hobby workspace with good lighting. Use plastic cement specifically designed for polystyrene kits to join parts, and always wash figures in warm soapy water before painting to remove any mold-release agents. Store your finished figures in a dust-free display case to prevent damage to the fine details. Because these are small, delicate plastic figures, they should be kept away from extreme heat sources to prevent warping.
