- For modeling, carefully research the vehicles actually used in Vietnam to detail.
- We paid close attention to reproducing the unique curved surface shape and casting skin of the turret and the car body.
- Using slide mold technology, turret models, car body shapes accurately model complex surfaces as well.
- Expression of casting skin enhances the sense of dignity of the finish.
