Building the model:

This very small resin model consists of a limited number of parts. Because of the small part size, care should be taken when cleaning up and gluing with cyanoacrylate. It is worth washing the parts before painting.

Italian vehicles of this period were usually painted in sand or olive colours, sometimes with a three-colour camouflage. Details are best emphasised with a wash, and the whole sealed with a matt varnish.

Required tools:

• Razor saw or nippers to remove resin parts from the casting blocks
• Hobby knife or scalpel
• Files and sanding paper for working resin parts
• Cyanoacrylate glue (for resin parts)
• Brushes in various sizes
• Modelling paints (acrylic or enamel)
• Modelling wash to emphasise details
