Plastic Cement contains acetone which melts the plastic and welds it together. If paint is on the plastic the melt does not happen. The reason it needs to be scraped off. It will stick, but sometimes paint to paint which might chip off leaving the parts coming apart. I don't think you have to worry too much, I can tell your being careful and professional, and the stresses of sitting on a shelf are minimal. On the other hand, if you were building a RC model this could be a big problem. I pre-painted HMCS Snowberry a few years ago and I am constantly reglueing parts. It just sits on the shelf.
The box cover looks like the tank has a camo pattern on it. I don't think I've seen that much in allied WW II tanks. Am I wrong?
