The sprues are designed for clean joins, helping to streamline the assembly process when you follow standard hobby steps.

Paint strategy and finishing: With a 28mm scale, you can achieve bold color separation, edge highlighting, and weathering to evoke battlefield narratives. Beginners can start with base coats and washes, while seasoned painters may layer glazes to deepen tones across armor panels and panels.

Display and storage considerations: A well-painted Kratos makes a striking centerpiece on a display shelf or within a cabinet, while its tabletop presence adds narrative weight to engagements with infantry and other vehicles. If you travel to events, plan safe transport for your kit and paints to protect the model during transit.
