FAQs

What tools do I need to assemble the kit?

You will need plastic model cement, a hobby knife, sprue cutters, paintbrushes, and appropriate paints. Tweezers and a magnifying glass may also be helpful for small parts.

What type of glue should I use?

Use plastic model cement specifically designed for plastic model kits. This type of glue will melt the plastic slightly, creating a strong bond.

Can I use any paint?

It is recommended to use paints specifically designed for plastic models. These paints are formulated to adhere properly and provide a durable finish. Acrylic or enamel paints are common choices.

What scale is this kit?

The kit is in 1:35 scale.

Are the paints and glue included?

No, the paints and glue are not included and must be purchased separately.

Is this kit suitable for beginners?

While the kit is detailed, beginners can build it. Take your time, follow the instructions carefully, and consider starting with a simpler model before tackling this one.

How can I make the model look more realistic?

Use weathering techniques such as dry brushing, washes, and pigments to simulate the effects of dirt, rust, and wear. Research and replicate the look of real-world vehicles for authenticity.

Troubleshooting

Parts not fitting correctly during assembly.

Double-check the instructions and ensure you are using the correct parts. You might need to trim or adjust the parts using a hobby knife or file.

Paint not adhering to the plastic surface.

Clean the plastic parts with a mild detergent before painting. Consider using a primer designed for plastic models to improve paint adhesion.

Tracks are too tight or loose.

Adjust the tension of the tracks by carefully positioning the track links or adjusting the model's suspension if applicable. Ensure the track links are fully assembled and glued correctly.
