Project Brief for Academy 13401 1/72 German Guel Tank & Stiwimm

The Academy 13401 reproduces the German Guel Tank and Stiwimm at 1/72 scale with an emphasis on precise small-scale features. The kit is laid out for an orderly build, letting modellers concentrate on fit and finish to bring out the vehicle character. It is a great choice for those who enjoy detailed military models in compact scale.

Operational Background and Model Intent

During World War II, the Guel Tank and Stiwimm were noted for adaptability across different roles and terrain. This model reflects that utility through accurate exterior lines and surface texture, offering a useful reference for historical modelling projects.

Construction Notes and Finish Options

The kit suits builders who like to invest time in neat assembly and paintwork. Clean out flash, dry-fit components before gluing, and use thin coats of paint to preserve detail. Finished models display well alone or as part of a small diorama layout.
