Tanks | Tiger Model

Assembly and preparation

• Adhesives: plastic cements and CA for fine or multi-material parts.
• Cutting tools: precision knives, spare blades and flush cutters to separate parts from the sprue without damage.
• Sandpaper and files: fine-tune fits and smooth joints before priming.
• Putty: fill gaps, correct hollows and re-sculpt detail.
• Masking tape for clean camouflage lines.
• Tweezers and cutting mats: precise handling and a stable work surface.

Base paint

• Primers to improve adhesion and reveal imperfections.
• Acrylic paints for colour coats by brush or airbrush.
• Airbrushing for smooth transitions and fine camouflages.
• Auxiliary products: thinners, cleaners, mediums and decal solutions.

Weathering and finishes for armour

• Washes and inks for panelling and shadows.
• Weathering FX for streaking, rust and grime.
• Pigment FX for dust and realistic textures.
• Diorama FX for mud, snow, water and terrain on the base.
• Varnishes (gloss for decals; satin or matt for the final finish).

Recommended workflow

1. Dry-fit assembly, clean cutting and adjustment with file/sandpaper; glue with the right adhesive.
2. Fill joints with putty; refine and smooth before priming.
3. Control primer coat and base colour by brush or airbrush.
4. Decals over a gloss coat; seal, apply washes/pigments/effects and varnish.
