Modeling Tips
- Wash all parts in warm soapy water before assembling to remove mould-release agents.
- Use plastic cement for major subassemblies; build the chassis, then the turret.
- Prime with mid-grey or Russian green and use fine washes to bring out panel lines.
- Use the PE parts to add realism — especially on the grille and observation windows.
- Choose between the two decal schemes to suit your diorama or collection style.
