DEF Model photo-etched fenders for the SU-85 and SU-100 in 1:35 replace the thick kit fenders of the Soviet tank destroyers with metal parts at a realistic sheet thickness, which can be convincingly dented and bent. The set is cut for the Zvezda kits 3688 and 3690.

This photo-etched set from the Korean manufacturer DEF Model replaces the fenders of kits of the Soviet SU-85 and SU-100 tank destroyers in 1:35 scale. Plastic fenders tend to be several times thicker than real sheet metal because of the way they are made; metal photo-etched parts remove that weakness and, on top of that, allow natural deformation: dents, bent corners and the traces of hard service. The set is designed for particular kits, so check the compatibility in advance.
The SU-85 and SU-100 self-propelled guns were created during the Second World War on the chassis of the T-34 tank. They carried guns of 85 mm and 100 mm respectively in a fixed superstructure and served above all to destroy enemy armored vehicles. On the real machines the fenders over the tracks were among the first things to suffer in the field, and that is exactly why rendering them faithfully on a model is so rewarding.
If you want to shape the fenders, anneal the sheet over a flame before bending it: it softens and holds dents more readily. Glue the parts with cyanoacrylate and strengthen the joints in places that will not be seen. Degrease and prime before painting; chipping and rust on the edges then sell the realistic thickness in full. The accessory is designed for the Zvezda kits 3688 and 3690.
The accessory is not a kit of a model; a base kit is not included in the package.
