1:35 Pz.Kpfw.38(t) Ausf.E/F is a set of pre-cut masking templates from Eduard for a model of the light tank in 1:35 scale. It is not a kit, but an accessory for painting a model you already own.
Responsibility details are not available.
On models of armored vehicles, masking most often concerns small circular areas, that is vision ports and the centers of the road wheels, where rubber and metal are to be separated by a sharp edge. That is precisely what is done badly by hand: a circle cut from tape never comes out exactly, and the asymmetry shows immediately when you look at the running gear. Pre-cut masks remove that problem; the shapes are the same on every wheel and all you do is seat them and press them down. The set is made by Eduard, a Czech company from Obrnice near Most.
Pz.Kpfw.38(t) is the German designation of a light tank of Czechoslovak design, which originated as the LT vz. 38 and was built at the Prague factory CKD, later designated BMM. The Ausf.E and F versions differed from the earlier batches mainly in strengthened armor, whose frontal thickness was raised roughly twofold by adding add-on armor plates. The armament consisted of a 37 mm gun and machine guns. The type was used in 1941 and 1942, after which it was obsolete as a battle tank, and its chassis served as the basis for a range of other vehicles.
Degrease the wheels and the vision ports before masking; a mask does not hold on mold release agent. Fit the masks only on a dried base shade, that is spray the base color of the vehicle first and only then mask the centers of the wheels and spray the dark shade of the rubber, or the other way round according to the procedure you choose. Press the edges of the circular masks down with a toothpick all the way round. Take them off before applying weathering, because washes and pigments would run under the edge and leave an unclean transition that then has to be finished with a brush.
This is an add-on masking set for a kit you already own. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
