The model was sprayed with Tamiya TS-2 as a primer/base-coat followed by Models Mission Models Panzergrey. This facilitates mounting the tracks, which is difficult with the hulls assembled. To get around this I removed about halve the length of the mounting pins allowing me to pull the hulls apart after painting. Of note, test fitting of the upper and lower hulls results in a very tight fit so tight they can’t easily be separated. Tamiya Thin cement was used to close a few seems and ensure some of the smaller details wouldn’t come off with handling. The kit is a snap-tight that goes together very well without any modifications. Parts were removed with Xuron sprue cutters and prepped with an X-Acto knife and sanding sticks. Meng produces a line of kits that captures the toon-like nature of these vehicles while providing the builder with a lot of very nice details in an easy-to assemble model. "World War Toons" is a cartoon-like video game that features short, stubby versions of well-known WWII armored vehicles. When you’re in the mood for something different or new, try a Meng Toon Tank. The kit has excellent fit, a pretty low parts count, and was really fun to build. The model has nicely recessed details, well-molded tracks, a low parts count, and straightforward simple engineering.
