Build Tips & Use

• Dry-fit tracks and running gear for alignment before gluing
• Clean off any mold lines, especially on turret and hull cast surfaces, to preserve detail
• Camouflage painting may need masking and patience — use fine brushes or masking tape for edges
• Decals work best when applied over a gloss coat; use decal setting solutions for better adhesion
