A resin accessory for American tracked equipment in 1:35 scale from the manufacturer Elefant. It is not a vehicle kit but a standalone phone box for models of the M46, M47, M48 and M48A1. The name of the product expressly states that the part has the interior worked out, which is the key point with an accessory of this kind.
The box served to let accompanying infantry communicate with the crew shut inside the vehicle. On a model it is a small but prominent element on the outer surface. A kit usually treats it as a blind block with the door suggested. A resin casting with the interior modeled makes it possible to build the box with the door open, so that you can see inside. That is exactly the kind of detail that catches the eye on a finished model, because it shows that the builder dealt even with what was not strictly necessary.
Reverse the usual order: paint and weather the inside of the box before you glue the part to the hull. Afterwards you will reach inside with a brush only with difficulty. First wash the casting in warm water with detergent, separate it from the casting block with a fine saw and level the surface. Use a light shade of primer, so that the inner walls do not get lost in shadow. The outside takes the shade of the vehicle, while the inside is rewarding to distinguish with a darker tone and a fine wash. The box is glued with cyanoacrylate glue, and for the door a drop applied with a pin is enough. If you decide on a closed door, pay attention to the fine gap around its edge; it is that which gives the impression of a working closure.
The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package.
