Assembly and Usage
Plastic parts should be carefully removed from the sprues, cleaned of excess plastic, and assembled following the instructions. It is recommended to paint some parts before assembly, especially those difficult to reach after building. Once assembled and painted, decals can be applied to represent military markings and camouflage schemes. The completed model serves as a realistic display piece and is a valuable addition to a collection or as a base for further detailing and modifications.
Compatibility
The kit is compatible with other 1/48 scale modeling accessories, including Eduard's add-ons for MiG-21 models, diorama elements, and bases. Photo-etched parts and masks can be used independently, allowing for model customization and expansion based on individual preferences.
