This kit is the first release by Kinetic Models. It was a pleasure to build and had no major issues that I came a cross during the build. The decals are quite nice and easy to work with. The kit is painted using a Gloss Black by Tamiya as a base coat and then Alclad Aluminum and Duraluminum. The rest of the colors used on the kit were Model Masters Acryl consisting of Insignia Red, Green Zinc Chromate, Interior Black, Brass and Chrome Yellow. The tires are done using Tamiya Nato Black in this case but I prefer using AKAH Paints Old Tires -Dark Grey or New Tires Black -Gray depending on the amount of wear that is being portayed.
