• Modelling knife or scalpel
• Files and sandpaper
• Plastic cement
• Precise modelling tweezers
• Primer, brushes and modelling paints
• Modelling wash to emphasise details

About the subject – vehicle service and repair:

An efficient technical support network was essential to keeping vehicles combat-ready. Repair crews worked both in the rear and close to the front line, carrying out inspections, component replacements and field repairs. Figures of this type allow you to build a diorama showing the everyday, less obvious side of wartime operations.
