Etch kits can be soldered or glued with instant glue (recommended only for non-operational vehicles or details).
This kit is also suitable for beginners due to its simplicity (no need to bend the sheet metal into round edges etc.).
The running gear, wheels and decals are not included in the kit and can be purchased separately - see accessories. The running gear can be obtained e.g. on Pavel Gülich's website.
