How to use

Parts are supplied on plastic sprues and require cutting, trimming, assembly and painting. Follow the kit’s printed instruction manual for step-by-step assembly order, recommended glues and paint references.

Test-fit parts before gluing, and allow adhesives and paint to cure fully between steps.

Usage recommendations

For best results, assemble in a well-lit, ventilated workspace and use fine hobby tools. Mask clear parts before painting and consider using reference photos of the B-17G-35-VE "Little Miss Mischief" to reproduce markings and weathering authentically.
