1:35 Modern US M1078 FMTV [Armor CaB] Basic (For TRUMPETER)

M1078 FMTV Armor Cab photo-etched set 1:35 (Voyager Model)

This brass photo-etched set from Voyager Model serves to refine a plastic model of the American M1078 FMTV military truck with an armored cab in 1:35 scale. It is the Basic set; it is not a model of the vehicle but a refining accessory that replaces selected plastic items with fine metal parts and adds external detail.

The real subject

The M1078 is a light vehicle from the American FMTV family of medium tactical vehicles, used to carry materiel and personnel. In the version with an armored cab it gives the crew greater protection. The vehicle is the basis of a range of purpose-built bodies and variants.

Usage tips

Separate the photo-etched parts with a sharp knife and bend them in a bender. The flat parts can be shaped around a ruler or a mandrel. Use super glue or epoxy for bonding; treat the metal surfaces with a primer before painting.

Who the set is for

• Modelers of modern logistic and tactical vehicles in 1:35
• Anyone interested in American military trucks
• Builders who want fine metal detail
• Advanced and competition modelers

This is an accessory for a plastic model, not a stand-alone kit. The base Trumpeter model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
