The Voyager Model 1:35 photo-etched detail set for the German E-50 Flakpanzer project anti-aircraft vehicle is an accessory for a plastic kit you already own, not a model in itself. It is cut for the Trumpeter 01537 kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
The product is a set of photo-etched brass parts meant for detailing one particular plastic kit. The kit is not part of the package. Voyager Model is a Chinese manufacturer of photo-etched accessories for military subjects in 1:35 scale, whose sets are marked out by the fine rendering of small features such as mesh, hatch catches, brackets and the rims of sheet pieces.
The E series, that is Entwicklung, was a German late-war effort at a unified design family of armored vehicles ordered by weight categories. The medium E-50 category stayed at the project stage and never saw series production. The anti-aircraft variant on this chassis is therefore a conceptual subject rather than a vehicle actually used. The build subject thus belongs to the category of so-called paper designs, which gives the modeler an interesting freedom in painting and in the choice of markings.
Sets for vehicles with curved shields and rounded covers hold parts that have to be formed into a curve rather than merely bent. Hard brass springs back while this is done and cracks at the bend. The solution is annealing: warm the part briefly over a flame until it changes color slightly and let it cool. It softens and can then be bent over a cylindrical object without springing back. Do not overheat it, because brass can be burned and will fall apart. Anneal on a non-flammable surface, with tweezers, and never cool a part in water in your hand.
Cut the parts off with a scalpel on a hard surface, and glue with thin cyanoacrylate applied with a pin. Before painting, degrease the brass and cover it with a primer for metal. On a project subject, choose a convincing period scheme and keep to it with restraint: the more fictional the subject, the more a technically measured treatment helps.
The set is an accessory for a plastic kit, which it does not include. The glue, paints and tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
