How to use

Carefully remove parts from sprues and clean any excess plastic or mold lines before assembly. Follow the kit instructions for subassembly of the hull and turret, dry-fit parts to verify alignment, then apply modelling glue in small amounts to join components. Prime the assembled model before painting to ensure paint adhesion, then apply base colours, decals and weathering in stages. Allow sufficient drying time between steps for a clean finish.

Usage recommendations

Use fine hobby knives, sanding tools and precision tweezers for accurate part preparation. Choose acrylic or enamel modelling paints compatible with plastic and a suitable primer. Apply decals to a smooth, gloss surface and seal them with varnish or clear coat for durability. Keep adhesives and paints in a well-ventilated area and follow manufacturer safety instructions.
