1:35 7TP - drive sprockets and engine deck grilles is a detail set from the Polish brand MASTER that replaces these parts on the model of the Polish 7TP light tank by IBG.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is not a tank model but a detail accessory for a finished plastic kit. The set replaces the drive sprockets of the running gear and the grilles above the engine compartment of the Polish 7TP light tank from the IBG kit. It comes from the Polish brand MASTER, which specializes in small replacement parts for widely available models.
The drive sprocket and the cooling grille are among the places on a tank where an injection mold simplifies the most. The teeth of the sprocket tend to be blunt and the lightening holes are not fully open, because the mold has no way of reaching them. The grilles over the engine compartment then stay solid, so on the finished model they read as a surface with suggested relief rather than as an open vent. Separately produced replacements capture both more crisply: the sprocket gets legible teeth and the grille a view into the depth. That view is exactly the detail that draws the eye first on a model in a display case.
Cut the original parts away and level the mating surfaces with a file so that the replacement sits in the correct plane. Wash the accessory in warm water with dish soap before gluing and let it dry; grease and mold release residue spoil paint adhesion. Bond with super glue, which holds on resin as well as on metal, and level the seams with thin filler. Apply primer before painting and finally bring out the grilles with a dark wash that flows into the recesses and visually deepens the open vent.
The package holds only the parts listed. The kit, glue and paints are not included.
