Description

This is an injection plastic and metal radio or remote-controlled military vehicle model kit.

Turn your desktop into a mini battlefield! This little beauty is part of Kyosho's Pocket armor series of mini r/c tank kits. The Abrams is ready to roll straight out of the box, but does require three AAA batteries for the tank and one 9V battery for the included radio control box. 2-channel radio allows separate operation of the tracks on the right and left sides for realistic tank movement. Turret rotates and barrel elevates, but this is not radio-controlled. Comes with three small runners of detail parts to make your Abrams as real-looking as possible, but assembly is not required to enjoy r/c action. Commander figure (upper torso only), too. Tank hull (not including barrel) is 13cm long. Molded in desert brown plastic.

Assembly Guide

Skill Level 2:

Easy to Complete

Skill Level 2 kits require basic plastic model assembly techniques, such as cutting parts from the runners, and cutting or sanding away the remains of the gates (the place where the part was connected to the runner). Some kits in this level also provide stickers for some markings. Most level 2 kits do not require cement or paint, but be sure to read any additional information provided to be sure. To nicely complete a level 2 kit, you will want to have a pair of plastic nippers for cutting parts from the runners, and a fine file, sandpaper or hobby knife for cleaning the gates. In some cases, a pair of tweezers makes applying stickers easier. Most adults with no prior modeling experience would have no trouble completing a kit of skill level 2. Parents would probably want to assist younger children with a kit of this level if they have never built one before.

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.
