The wheels mount well and the details are superb. the turret has lots of details, lots of handles, clear parts to hide well for painting
Once mounted I put a layer of after-grey GUNZE 1000 and a layer of GUNZE 79 yellow sand, then camouflage with GUNZE 78 and XF68, then I put a layer of matt varnish and I dirty with TAMIYA black panel line.
I realize the diorama with a sheet of black sanding paper glued on the double side on a wooden base and painted in GUNZE 78. Then I glue gravel with white glue which I then dirty with various VALERO products, « oxide rest medieum rost and desert dust ». Here is a very beautiful model, which mounts, without great difficulty with a certain boiled construction machine surmounted by a cannon.
