About product

The real subject

The TK-S is a Polish tankette of the 1930s. It grew out of a British design that Poland took over and developed further: a crew of two, a low fixed superstructure with no rotating turret and machine-gun armament. Vehicles of this family were among the most numerous armored vehicles of the Polish army and were intended mainly for reconnaissance and for accompanying infantry. Their small size and thin armor put them at a disadvantage against tanks, but in the field they were agile and fast.

What the build involves

The model is supplied as a kit to be glued and painted. In 1:72 scale the vehicle is tiny, so the running gear, the exhaust and the small fittings on the superstructure are small parts that call for tweezers. The assembly sequence and the layout of the parts are shown in the manufacturer's instructions.

Building and painting tips

Try fitting the parts dry first and only then glue them; on a small model every deviation shows in how the running gear sits. Cut off excess material with a sharp blade a little away from the part and sand the remainder, so that the edge does not break off. Wash and degrease the model before painting. Apply the paint in thin coats so that the shallow relief does not disappear; in this scale a heavy coat hides it completely. Choose the color scheme according to the references you have available, and the recommended options are in the instructions.

FAQ

A very small tracked vehicle for two men with machine-gun armament, intended for reconnaissance and for accompanying infantry. It usually has no rotating turret.

They are not. The kit is supplied; paints and glue have to be obtained separately.

Rather for someone who has already built a small model. In this scale the vehicle is tiny and the running gear parts are small.

Yes. Wash it, degrease it and apply the paint in thin coats, so that the fine surface relief does not disappear.
