Tanks | Italeri
In this category you'll find Italeri tank kits in various scales. To make assembly and painting easier, here's a guide with essential accessories and paints (links to categories, without mentioning specific kits).Assembly and preparation
- Adhesives for plastic and cyano: glue, reinforce and correct joints.
- Clean cuts with cutting tools (precision knife, spare blades, flush cutters).
- Fine-tune fits with sandpaper and refine with files.
- Fill gaps with putty (acrylic and epoxy) before priming.
- Protect areas with masking tape for crisp camouflage lines.
Base paint and tools
- Prepare the surface with primers (white, grey or black).
- Paint by brush or with airbrushing for uniform coats and soft camouflages.
- Improve flow and cleanliness with auxiliary products (thinners, cleaners, mediums).
Weathering and finishes for armour
- Age and shade with washes and inks to highlight rivets and panels.
- Add chipping, rust, soot and dirt with Weathering FX and Pigment FX.
- Create terrain, mud, snow or water on the base with Diorama FX and vegetation from scenery.
- Protect and unify with varnishes (gloss for decals; satin or matt at the end).
Brushes and tools
Tip: prime, paint, apply decals over a gloss coat and finish with matt or satin varnish
