FAQs
Is this kit suitable for children?
This is a detailed hobby kit designed for experienced modelers; it contains small parts and requires adult supervision for younger users.
Do I need to buy extra paint?
No, this kit includes a basic set of water-based paints, glue, and a brush, covering the essentials for assembly.
What scale is the model?
This is a 1:35 scale model, which is the industry standard for military tank replicas.
Can I use plastic cement instead of the included glue?
Yes, you can use any standard plastic model cement, but the included glue is sufficient for this kit.
Does it include the Trophy protection system parts?
Yes, the kit specifically includes the components to model the Leopard 2A7A1 with the Trophy protection system.
Are the tracks functional or static?
The tracks are molded for high detail and intended to be set in a static, realistic position on the undercarriage.
Troubleshooting
Small parts are difficult to handle
Use hobby tweezers or a soft-grip clamp to hold small parts while the glue sets.
Decals are not adhering correctly
Ensure the plastic surface is completely clean and dust-free; consider using a decal softening solution if the surface is highly textured.
Paint is streaking
Thin the water-based paint slightly with a drop of water and apply in multiple thin coats rather than one thick layer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning assembly, clear a well-lit workspace and prepare a cutting mat to protect surfaces. Use a sprue cutter to remove individual plastic parts from the frames, then lightly sand any attachment points to ensure a flush fit. Since the kit includes water-based paints, ensure you clean your brush immediately after use with water to maintain the bristles. Store the finished model away from direct sunlight to prevent decal fading and plastic warping over time. For advanced users, this kit is compatible with aftermarket photo-etched detail sets if you choose to enhance the model further.
