1:35 Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf.G — photo-etched fenders are an add-on set for a plastic kit you already own, not a standalone model. The thin brass fenders replace coarser plastic parts and the set is cut for the kit given in the product name.
Responsibility details are not available.
This set from Voyager Model holds brass photo-etched fenders for a model of the German Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf.G light tank. It is not a kit of the tank but a targeted accessory for the plastic model given in the product name.
The Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf.G was a development variant of the German light tank with torsion bar suspension and large, mutually overlapping road wheels. The fenders above the tracks on vehicles of this class were of thin sheet stiffened with a rolled rim, and in service they bent and wore easily. That is precisely why they are among the parts where the difference between plastic and photo-etched metal shows best on a model.
A fender has a rounded profile, which is formed in sheet by drawing it over a cylindrical object of a suitable size, for instance a round handle or a tube. Form it gradually and in several passes rather than with one application of force; the brass then bends evenly without a crease. It is on fenders in particular that adding wear pays off: a slightly lifted corner, a dent from a load or a missing piece after an impact turn the model into a vehicle that has been driven. Form the deformation before gluing and check that the part seats along the whole length of the hull. Glue with thin cyanoacrylate in small amounts, so that the excess does not then clog the surrounding structure.
This is an add-on set for a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
