This scale kit focuses on the VBL's distinctive lines and protective bodywork, offering an enjoyable project for modellers who value historical accuracy and clean build technique.

Detailed Parts and Construction Notes

The kit includes finely moulded components that represent the VBL's exterior features with clarity. Builders will appreciate the precise fit of major assemblies and the chance to refine small details for a polished final model. Careful cleanup and test fitting will yield the best results.

The VBL often uses olive drab or NATO green tones depending on period. Refer to reference photos and choose matt automotive or hobby acrylics in those ranges for an accurate finish.
Allow several evenings to a few weekends depending on experience and finishing level. Time rises if you add weathering, decals or aftermarket parts.
Minor flash and seam lines can appear on fine parts. Dry fit pieces before gluing and sand mating surfaces lightly to ensure a tight, gap free assembly.
