Description

This is an injection-plastic military vehicle model kit.

From the manufacturer:

The SS-100 was a heavy tractor used by German forces from the mid-1930s, originally a commercial design but also effective in military service throughout WWII thanks to an ability to haul up to 20 tons. Among a wealth of candidates, one of its passengers really stands out - the mighty 88mm gun, which was used against Allied forces with devastating effect. The Flak37 was a powerful 1937 variant, with sights updated from predecessors, and a large shield added from 1940.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level 3:

Basic Skills Required

Kits rated as skill level 3 are traditional model kits that require all basic modeling skills to complete. This includes cutting parts from runners and trimming or sanding them prior to use, assembling them with cement, and the use of paint to complete them.

To properly complete a level 3 kit, you should have at least a basic set of modeling supplies, including plastic nippers, a hobby knife, files and/or sandpaper, plastic cement, instant (cyanoacrylate) cement (for resin, soft-vinyl or metal parts), painting supplies including brushes, paint, thinner and masking tape, tweezers and possibly decal softener for applying decals to difficult areas.

Kits in this class are not suitable for small children unless there is complete parental supervision. Adults who have never before completed a plastic model kit may want to read one of the many excellent modeling guides available at most hobby shops before trying to build one of these kits.

Skill level 3 kits include a very large portion of our catalog. Most traditional plastic model kits fall into this category.

Cement Required

cement

This item requries the use of cement (glue) to complete. For injection-plastic kits, use the weld-type clear cement specifically designed for use on styrene plastic. For some smaller parts, you may wish to use instant type (cyanoacrylate) glue. For resin, white metal, soft vinyl and photo-etched materials, the use of instant type cement is strongly recommended.

A SAFETY NOTE ABOUT INSTANT CEMENT

Parents and all modelers should note that instant cement (cyanoacrylate) bonds skin instantly. While this in itself is not harmful, forcibly attempting to pull the skin apart can tear the skin and cause injury. If you or your child happens to inadvertenly glue themselves with instant cement, don't pull, but use remover for instant cement, or nail polish remover to dissolve the bond instead.

Painting Required

This model kit or accessory must be painted in order to achieve a realistic appearance.

Paint

While there are slight differences depending on the country you live in, there are generally three types of paint available for modeling: Acrylic, Enamel and Lacquer. Their characteristics are described below.
