About product

U.S. M2A1 Cal.50 Ammo Box 1:35, colored photo-etch (Tetra Model Works)

Ammunition boxes of the M2A1 type for ammunition of 12.7 mm caliber in 1:35 scale, this time of color-printed photo-etch. The parts arrive already in color and with the markings, so priming the brass and the hand painting of captions, which in this scale are barely a millimeter, fall away. It is a detail accessory for a built model or for a diorama, not a model of equipment.

The real subject

The M2A1 box is the later release of the American sheet-metal ammunition container for the heavy machine gun of 12.7 mm caliber; against the older M2 type it differs in details of the lid, the catch and the handle. In practice it is visible in holders by the weapon, in racks on the body and loose, stacked in the load area as well - and because it carries a pronounced caption of the contents, it is a rewarding color accent on a model.

Building and painting tips

Printed photo-etch takes somewhat less violence than bare brass. Bend slowly and preferably in a bender, so that the paint does not crack on the edge; retouch any crack with a brush. Dose the cyanoacrylate glue with a wire, as a drop spread over the print leaves a glossy trace. Unify the finished boxes with a matte varnish, put a dark wash into the pressings and a light dust pigment on the bottom. Make the wear on the edges sparingly - the metal shows through under the print and looks realistic even without painting.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who want faithful captions on the boxes with no hand painting
  • Builders of contemporary and postwar American equipment in 1:35
  • Diorama builders who are after a fast and clean result
  • More experienced modelers used to bending photo-etched parts

The set is supplied unassembled. Glue, paints and the basic kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The photo-etched parts are printed with color by the maker, including the markings. You do not have to prime them or paint the tiny lettering; it is enough to assemble them and fine-tune the weathering.

They are two releases of the same container for 12.7 mm caliber; the M2A1 is the later one and it differs in details of the lid, the catch and the handle. Choose according to the period and the equipment you are building.

After assembly spray it with a thin coat of matte varnish. That unifies the sheen of the print and at the same time protects the paint during further washing and handling.

No, the set contains only the ammunition boxes. You have to have the model of the machine gun and the vehicle from another kit.
