Note from Sergio: "At 1:350 scale, these Hawkeyes are tiny masterpieces. The rotodome is the most iconic part, and Trumpeter has done a great job making it look proportional even at this size. I recommend using a pair of precision tweezers and a very fine-tip applicator for your cement; at this scale, a 'less is more' approach ensures the panel lines stay crisp. It’s the perfect way to turn a model ship into a living, breathing piece of history!"
