ACE injection plastic armor kits are manufactured using the Short Run Technology and come with decals. With the Short Run Technology there is the risk that not all parts are sharply casted. Sometimes there will be some flash or sinkholes etc.
With result some parts may not fit together smoothly and tightly.
The building instructions are also poor, all parts are numbered, but a building sequence is not or poorly indicated. Small parts are indicated but the correct place for mounting is missing, partly due to the lack of mounting holes or pins. These are often missing or not properly cast.
For the correct placement it is necessary to study the necessary photos of original vehicles via the internet. Ace advises that only basic modeling skills are required. However, I recommend at least some degree of modeling experience to be able to finished these models with a satisfactory result.

Hell Cannon - The howitzer that fires propane (butane) gas cylinders loaded with explosives and is the latest piece of homemade weaponry used by Syrian rebels (developed themselves). Weapon nicknamed the Hell Cannon and has a range of about a mile. Mortar-like weapons, first rigged up in the rural areas near Idlib by the Ahrar al-Shamal Brigade, then a member force of the Free Syrian Army, in 2013. These artifacts are produced with the materials and tools that can be obtained in a country besieged by war. The homegrown howitzer caught on and was soon produced in slightly different variants in and around Aleppo, and used for urban warfare
