1:35 Waffen-SS turet set (Tiger tank)

What the set offers

A tank model without people stays an exhibit. As soon as a crew appears on the turret, the model gains scale and a hint of a story, and the viewer immediately sees how big the machine really was. This set of figures in 1:35 scale is intended for the turret of a Tiger tank. How many figures it contains and what poses they are in is given by the manufacturer.

Fitting to the model

Try the figures dry before you start painting them. Turrets differ from kit to kit in the shape of the hatches and the height of their rims, so the mating surface usually needs tuning, or the figure needs its seated position adjusting slightly. Watch the height at which the person emerges from the hatch as well: the shoulders and head should be above the rim so that the figure looks as if it is standing in the hatch. Cut the excess material and the traces of manufacture away with a sharp blade a little away from the part and sand the rest down lightly.

Painting

Wash and degrease the figures before painting so that the paint holds. Paint them separately from the model and fit them only when finished, otherwise you cannot reach the lower areas with a brush. Work from the large areas to the details and leave the face until last, because it is the face that decides whether a figure looks alive. Bring the uniform and the equipment to life with light highlighting of the edges and folds, otherwise the fine detail merges into one surface.
