Assembly and finishing

Careful preparation of the parts, proper gluing for plastic, and the application of a primer will make painting easier. The applique armor panels, hull details, and tracks lend themselves to progressive weathering: washes, dry brushing, dusting, or signs of use help emphasize reliefs without hiding the details.

Model glue, paints, primer, cutting tools, brushes, or an airbrush are needed to carry out the assembly and finishing.
