How to Build & Modelling Tips

- Dry-fit major assemblies such as the chassis, crane and boom before gluing to ensure proper alignment.
- Paint interior and undercarriage parts before final assembly for best results.
- Use washes, filters and weathering pigments to highlight panel lines, hinges, cables and surface wear.
- Tension the boom and crane cables carefully for a realistic look.
- The rear A-arm can be posed in five different angles to simulate real recovery operations.
