Responsibility details are not available.
This is a kit of a walking reconnaissance machine designated Mantis Ausf. A in 1:35 scale from the MAiM brand. The item belongs to the Front46 series, which is the designation of the range of the manufacturer, not an abbreviation of a scale and not truncated text. The variant in the name, that is, Battle Version, sets the battle form apart from other scenes of the same machine which the brand offers separately. The exact contents of the package, the number of parts and the dimensions of the finished model are given in the instructions enclosed with the product.
Mantis is a fictional machine. The Front46 range works with a stylized alternative future of the middle of the 1940s and visually takes over the shapes of period military equipment, but no such walking reconnaissance asset ever existed or was committed. The description leichter Aufklärer, meaning a light reconnaissance type, therefore expresses the role of the machine in the world of that range — a light, fast reconnaissance type with minimal armor and an emphasis on observation — not a historical fact. The model therefore gives freedom in the choice of markings and finish; you are not bound by any documented period scheme.
Choose the glue according to the material of the parts — a thin plastic cement belongs on injection-molded plastic, super glue on resin parts. First wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water and free them of any casting residue; sand with respiratory protection. Assemble the walking undercarriage and the legs and check the stability before you close the body up — on tall builds with a small footprint the center of gravity is the key. Apply the base with a filler primer and only then spray the covering shades. Intricate panels gain from a dark wash in the engraved lines and a dry brush on the edges; concentrate the mud and dust effects from pigments at the feet and the lower part of the legs.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
