How long does assembly typically take?

Assembly time varies by skill level; expect several evenings for careful builders due to small parts and required painting and weathering to achieve a display finish.

What paints match the original M60A2 finish?

Typical schemes use olive drab or NATO greens depending on period. Use model-specific paint codes or reference photos to select colours for an authentic look.

Is additional detailing required out of the box?

The kit includes good baseline detail, but many modellers add photo-etch, metal barrels, or resin parts to enhance realism. These extras are optional based on the finish you want.
