RESIN PARTS:

The Verlinden kit contained into the same box some resin parts of great quality.     For ensambling I applied Zip-a-Gap or Cyanoacrylato glue to get a better result.   The pieces that I ensambled were:

* Turret compartment
* Hand-tool of the cables
* Jack Winde Crec

GREIF ACCESSORIES:

These accessories are of very good quality and are perfect  to give a better aspect of your tank.   For ensambling I applied Zip-a-Gap or Cyanoacrylato glue to get a better result.   The pieces that I ensambled were:

* Chains in the pre-cleaners
* Chains in the light-compartment - (Bosch)
* Pair of lights - Bosch
* Cables
* Plate for make clamps

TOOLS FOR PAINTING: 

The tool I used was a professional double action aerograph with integrated glass that comes specially with an air minicompressing of the same mark for this aerograph although I think it serves to the others, using acrylics of Tamiya and isopropílico alcohol, oils, bidistilled turpentine spirit, pastel colors and Tru-film (lacquer-plastic matte).

PAINTING PROCEDURE: 

Before beginning to use the aerograph, it is recommended to make tests in a piece of cardboard or heavy paper until seeing the thin and firm lines and being sure that are ok!. In the aerograph I apply 70% of alcohol and 30% of XF-60/dark-yellow in all the tank including the center of the wheels in which I previously applied a mask with Mr. Masking Sun of Gunze Sangyo in the borders that were already black, I used thin brush since broaches-applicator of humbrol is very heavy, then, applied one second layer of the XF-60/dark-yellow until being sure that the model does not have any corner without painting.   On the following day I painted camouflaged with 70% of  isopropílico alcohol and 30% of XF-24/dark green, after this I decided to follow recommendations to leave in rest the model during 48 hours before coming to the following phase.

TRACKS: 

While passing to the following phase I started to paint the tracks with wash of No.62/matt-leather de Humbrol with thinner in both sides leaving it to dry during 3 hours, then, a wash of XF-64/red-Brown of Tamiya in the surface being the previous painting in the hollows giving it an aspect of oxide and finally with dry brush with XF-16/flat aluminium in the surface not to totally cover the previous applications with a very real and satisfactory finishing.
