Hi
I bought the IDF M60A1 Blazer With Mine Roller from Academy.
I want to try and make this model the proper way :-) ...................... I want to detail it, wash it, drybrush, weather everything so I was hoping somebody could tell me what tools and supplies I need to buy.

Thanks for the Help

Was you meaning in what accessories they have for that model, like after market, or was you wanting what kinds of colors, or acrylics, or enamels, or oils or soft pastels, narrow it down and I believe somebody will be glad to help you.

Before you start putting this model together you need to search this site. There is an article out there that tells about some problems that you will have if you follow the instructions. If I remember right there are a couple of pieces of the rise armor that you can't add as well as a couple of pieces that go on the front end that will REALLY screw you up when you start to attach the mine roller... I'll search for the article and I'll follow up to this post once I find it but it is essential that you read it FIRST!!!!

I can't find it right now, it might have been on another website. I'll do some more research and try to find it for you. Just make sure that you look ahead before adding the armor to the hull and take a good look at how the mine roller attaches to the front of the tank before you add the protective brackets for the headlights on the front of the vehicle. I'll post again once I find that article.... sorry for not being a little more insightful.
