Application and Model Assembly
The model requires careful removal of parts from the sprues, precise fitting, and gluing according to the instructions. It is recommended to prepare the parts by gently cleaning their edges (e.g., with a file or sandpaper) to achieve perfect fit. Some parts should be painted prior to assembly, especially those that will be difficult to reach once assembled.
The model is suitable for painting techniques using brushes or airbrush. Decals should be applied after painting to accurately reproduce historical markings. This allows for creating realistic and detailed dioramas or display collections.

względem oryginału jest to niemal perfekcyjny model jak na swoją cenę. jak na RFM przystało są gąsienice ogniwkowe z 5 części na jedno 'oczko' mimo to nie sprawiają specjalnie problemów. jeden minus to brak włązu po prawej stronie wieży. powinien tam być, a go nie ma. kolejny minus to linka na liny holownicze. ja zamieniłem ją na skręcone 3 druty miedziane i efekt jest lepszy. ogromny plus natomiast to ogromna ilość części zapasowych, czytelność instrukcji oraz elementy fototrawione. polecam dla średnio-zaawansowanych modelarzy, którzy chcą przejść na wyższy poziom ;)
