Building the model:

With the paints, glue and brush included, you can get started straight away. The base of the anniversary livery is a deep blue fuselage with white — but the commemorative effect comes primarily from the decals. On airliners, a smooth, even finish on the skin matters especially; apply decals over a gloss coat and finish the model in satin or gloss depending on the look you want.

Useful tools (to complement what's in the set):

• Modelling side cutters for removing parts from the sprues
• Hobby knife or scalpel
• Files and sandpaper for cleaning up sprue gate marks
• Optionally, extra paints and a wash to deepen the effects
