When assembling an exact reduced copy of this tank, all assembly recommendations must be followed. To correctly assemble such a model, as a rule, the author studies the technical instructions for this unit of technology. The most important process in creating a miniature tank is painting it. It is the coloring that says what is in front of you - a small copy or a children's toy. For the correct execution of the painting process, it is necessary to compare the model of the tank with a real tank, and if this is not possible, then use its photographs.

Instructions
Step 1
A set of photo-etched parts can be used to paint and decorate the tank's coating. These parts represent something like a translation, only they are seated on the body using a special glue. Use glue "Contact", "Moment" or "Titanium". The last copy of the presented glue, performs the work on the mark "excellent". Its most important advantage is the adhesion of all types of materials.
Step 2
It is better to remove some parts for better painting, and prepare some before assembly. By preparation I mean to depict the use of a tank on the battlefield: you can make a hole in the track. It is done with a heated steel rod or spoke. Do not pierce the caterpillar with it - you will get a large hole. It will be enough to bring it closer to the maximum distance until the caterpillar melts slightly, and then make a hole with a thin and sharp object.
Step 3
It is better to paint the tank with an airbrush. When using brushes, the appearance will be similar to the painting - strokes are visible. The airbrush allows you to evenly apply paint to any surface, leaving no streaks or marks from the brush bristles. When spraying with an airbrush, do not hold it in one place, otherwise a puddle-like stain will appear in this place. Airbrushed paint dries quickly. The only condition for its use is the presence of a respirator on the face and painting in an open area.
