The Hauler 1:48 Challenger 2 add-on set combines resin parts and photo-etched metal. It is intended for a plastic kit of the British tank, and you cannot build the model itself from it.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item is an add-on set in 1:48 scale which, according to the name, combines resin parts and photo-etched metal. It serves to improve a plastic kit of the British Challenger 2 main battle tank - it replaces selected simplified parts with more accurate castings and adds features that cannot be made thin enough in injection-molded plastic. It is not a model of the tank: the kit has to be owned or bought separately, as do the glue and paints.
The Challenger 2 is a British main battle tank introduced in the 1990s, following on from the earlier Challenger 1. Characteristic of it are composite protection, a long turret and plenty of external equipment - baskets, covers, add-on armor features and accessories, which accumulate on the sides and on the turret according to the particular form. It is exactly these parts that tend to be simplified in kits and are therefore a typical target for add-on sets.
First wash the resin parts in lukewarm soapy water to get rid of the mold release residue - otherwise paint will not hold on them. Cut the casting blocks off with a saw or a cutting disc, never break them, and level the surface with a file. Protect your breathing when sanding resin, as the dust must not get into the lungs. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue, because ordinary cement for plastic has no effect on either resin or metal. Separate the photo-etched parts with a scalpel and bend them in a bender. Before painting, a primer goes over the whole model so that plastic, resin and metal all have the same base. Leave weathering with washes and pigments right until the end.
This is an add-on set, not a complete model. The base kit, glue, paints and tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
