A photo-etched set for a model of the American M42A1 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun in 1:35 scale from E.T. Model. It is an accessory for refining the detail of a plastic model, not a kit of the vehicle in its own right.
Responsibility details are not available.
A set of photo-etched parts made of thin sheet metal, intended for refining the detail of a plastic model of the American M42A1 self-propelled anti-aircraft gun in 1:35 scale. It is neither a model nor a kit of the vehicle, but an accessory set whose parts replace plastic items wherever injection-molded plastic is too coarse for its thickness. These are typically the grilles, the covers, the loops, the clamps, the tool brackets and other thin-walled items on the hull and the superstructure. The exact scope of the set follows the manufacturer's instructions enclosed in the package.
The M42 was an American self-propelled anti-aircraft gun built on the chassis of the M41 Walker Bulldog light tank. In an open rotating turret it carried a pair of 40 mm automatic cannons. The M42A1 version differed from the original one in its reworked powertrain. In service the vehicle was in the end used mainly against ground targets, where the high rate of fire of the rapid-firing cannons did good work in covering convoys and bases. The late version corresponds to the state of the vehicle after the equipment changes had been introduced.
Never break the parts out; cut them out with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface. A photo-etch bender is the right tool for folding, and at a pinch two straight blades and a rule will do. Always fold along the marked score line, and rather bend the part a second time than break the metal. They are glued with thin cyanoacrylate, which wicks into the joint by capillary action; on large parts a slow-setting epoxy proves useful, because it gives time to position them. Degrease the metal before painting and lay down a primer, otherwise the paint will not hold on the smooth surface. Spray fine grilles with thinned paint in thin coats, so that the openings do not clog.
This is an accessory photo-etched set. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
