That’s one of the most interesting point to me: Revell must have super clear, most hand holdy instructions possible, for a process that is long and finicky and they assume people will patiently go all the way anyway. And that’s not just model kits, other Japanese company take the same approach. Finicky and painfully long but clearly explained. In comparison IKEA spent decades to make shorter, clearer to assemble furnitures, so they can get by with less explaination. Current day IKEA furniture is way sturdier, easier and faster to deal with than any other flatpack company I’ve seen, Japanese companies included (and I went through a bunch recently…)
