Undecorated models are frequently also unassembled or only partially assembled and required modelers to be comfortable with glue, paint and sometimes solder in order to prepare their models for display.

Models may or may not come with decals or other decorations such as plastic signage, railings and ladders to enhance the appearance of the final product.
