FAQs

What scale is this model kit?

This model kit is in the 1:35 scale.

Are paints and glue included with the kit?

No, paints, glue, and modeling tools are sold separately and are required for assembly and finishing.

How many figures are included in the kit?

The exact number of figures will be detailed in the product's specific contents list, usually found on the box or in the instruction manual. This kit typically includes multiple figures.

Can these figures be used with other scale models?

The 1:35 scale is a standard for military modeling, so these figures are highly compatible with other 1:35 scale vehicles, tanks, and accessories.

Is this kit suitable for young children?

This kit is intended for hobbyists and model enthusiasts. Due to small parts and the need for tools like hobby knives and glue, it is not suitable for young children without adult supervision.

What kind of poses are the soldiers in?

The soldiers are depicted in 'at rest' poses, meaning they are in relaxed, non-combat stances, suitable for scenes of downtime or preparation.

Troubleshooting

Parts do not fit together properly

Ensure you have removed all excess plastic (flash) from the parts. Check the instruction manual to confirm you are using the correct parts and orientation. Minor adjustments with a hobby knife may be necessary.

Glue is not bonding parts

Ensure you are using a plastic cement specifically designed for model kits. Apply a small amount and hold parts firmly until the bond sets. Avoid over-saturating the plastic.

Paint is chipping or flaking

Ensure models are properly cleaned and primed before painting. Use paints compatible with plastic models and apply thin, even coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a model kit that requires assembly. Carefully remove parts from the sprue using a hobby knife or sprue cutters. Parts are typically molded from plastic and will require plastic cement for adhesion. Follow the instruction manual provided with the kit for specific assembly order.

Compatibility: The 1:35 scale ensures compatibility with a wide range of other 1:35 scale military model kits, including vehicles, artillery, and accessory sets from various manufacturers. It is designed to complement historical WWII German military themes.

Care: Once assembled and painted, the model figures should be handled with care to avoid damaging paintwork or delicate parts. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures, which can degrade the plastic and paint over time. Dusting with a soft brush is recommended for cleaning.
