## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come built or will I have to build it myself?**
A: You will need to build it. The glue, paint and tools are not included.

**Q: Does the top of the tank open up? Or are the soldiers fixed to the top of the tank? Thank you!**
A: Hi mum of 2, both tank hatches can be fitted so as they can be open or closed, but if who ever builds the model  wants to show the tank with closed hatches then the crew has to be taken out of tank, then if they want the crew put back in just open hatch and replace figures. Hope this is helpfull, but its a good detailed model to build especially  when painted

**Q: Is the tank pre - painted??**
A: No, it requires paint and glue to complete.

**Q: Are the tracks plastic and need assembling or are they cheap and nasty pre made tracks**
A: The tracks are a 'rubber' material that do need to be assembled  (each is a long strip that has to be wrapped around the wheels and then 'sealed' together.
