Hobby Boss 83834 - 1/35 French GCT 155mm AU-F1 SPH: Scale Study

Yes, the AU-F1's compact footprint and detailed surfaces make it a strong centrepiece for small dioramas, from workshop scenes to field deployments.

Plastic cement or polystyrene glue gives the strongest bonds for this kind of kit. Use liquid cement for tight seams and thicker glue for heavy join points.
