1:35 German Brummbar is in this version an Eduard photo-etched detail set in 1:35 scale for a model of the German Sturmpanzer IV — metal parts for a kit. A masking set carries the same name; this item is the photo-etched one.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item is a set of photo-etched metal parts by the Czech manufacturer Eduard for a model of the German self-propelled gun Sturmpanzer IV, nicknamed Brummbär, in 1:35 scale. Do not confuse it with the masking set that comes out under the same name — masks only serve for painting and are thrown away after use, whereas an etch is glued onto the model permanently. The set is also not a vehicle kit but an accessory to a model you already own. On armor, photo-etched parts most often solve the areas where plastic is unbearably thick.
The Sturmpanzer IV was built on the chassis of the Panzer IV medium tank and carried a short large-caliber howitzer in a fixed armored superstructure, intended for fire against fortified targets and buildings. The design was heavy and slow, with a limited traverse of the gun. The vehicle went through several production series that differed in the shape of the superstructure, the vision ports and the details of the running gear — which is why it always pays to compare the set with the particular variant you are building.
Metal sheet parts benefit a model above all where the real thing is thin: grilles, brackets, eyes and sheet covers. Separate the parts with a scalpel on a hard surface and sand the tabs down. Degrease the metal with alcohol and do not touch it with your fingers. Make straight folds in a bending tool; on larger parts a brief annealing over a flame helps — the metal softens and stops springing back. Glue with super glue, and with a slower-setting epoxy on large areas. Always spray the metal with a primer, otherwise the paint cracks. On armor it then pays to weather in stages: a dark wash in the recesses, a dry brush on the edges and finally pigments on the lower areas and the running gear, where there is the most dust and mud.
The set contains photo-etched parts only. The model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
