I have been disappointed with this kit and would be leary before you buy it. You can verify what I am writing by the links that are already on this page. If you look at the instructions you can see in step 25 the machine gun mount is molded into the top of the tank. You can look at the 2 unboxing videos and you can see the sprue does not show the mount as molded into the piece. The piece looks like the top of a legos head and not molded. The model was released in the US in January 2022 and this is when I bought it. I'm guessing that the wrong sprues were added to the box. I have sent 4 emails to the company's email business@takom-world.com and have received no response. Until you can verify this is fixed I would stay away from this kit.

You are absolutely right, when I read your comment I went to check it with the model I bought and, indeed, that piece was not well molded, the nuts are missing.
Fortunately, the brand has reacted well, perhaps as a result of your comment, and in my kit they added a bag with the same piece but already corrected with its nuts.
In any case, don't worry, there are 6 nuts that can be simulated very well with evergreen or with aftermarkets that are sold in the market.
Thank you very much for your notice.
All the best.
