Eduard 1:35 Soviet T-60 light tank is a photo-etched detail set for a model of this vehicle in 1:35 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
It is not a kit but an accessory for a model of the vehicle. The set holds parts cut from thin photo-etched sheet that replace elements molded too heavily in plastic. The name does not narrow down which part of the vehicle the set is aimed at, so the exact scope is not stated here. The manufacturer is the Czech company Eduard.
On military vehicle models photo-etch is most useful where the real thing is thin sheet metal, that is on fenders, grilles over the engine deck, tool mounts, loops and sheet covers. Injection-molded plastic necessarily makes these places thicker. Photo-etched sheet handles them in tenths of a millimeter, so the model looks right in scale and stands up to a close look.
The T-60 was a Soviet light tank of the Second World War with a crew of two. It was created as a vehicle that was simple to produce, for reconnaissance and infantry support; it was powered by an automotive inline engine and its gun armament consisted of a 20 mm automatic cannon with a machine gun.
Separate the parts with a sharp knife and make the bends in a bending tool. Glue with cyanoacrylate and always apply a primer to the metal. On vehicles it pays to attach the photo-etch before painting the hull, so that the glue does not reach the finished paint. At the end bring the detail out with a dark wash and dust pigments, which hold best in the grilles and behind the fenders.
The set is an accessory for a plastic kit. The model itself, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
