Responsibility details are not available.
A basic photo-etched set for the model of the British Cromwell Mk.IV cruiser tank in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit of the vehicle but a set of photo-etched parts that replace and complete the details of the kit - brackets, clips, sheet-metal covers and small equipment, where plastic in this scale cannot get close to the real thickness. The parts are cut for the Tamiya kit.
The Cromwell was a British cruiser tank of the second half of the Second World War. Characteristic of it was the combination of high output and speed thanks to an engine derived from an aero unit, and an angular hull built with both riveting and welding, with prominent side covers over the running gear. It is precisely the broken-up surface with its many small grab handles, eyes and plates that makes the Cromwell a rewarding subject for photo-etched accessories - every added detail shows up well on the flat surfaces.
Cut the photo-etched parts off with a sharp blade right at the tab and file the rest of the tab down, or the part will not sit flush. Always run the bends toward the etched groove, and in a bender rather than in tweezers. Degrease the whole fret, or at least the individual parts, with alcohol before gluing - grease from your fingers is the most common reason why a joint does not hold. Combine glues: super glue for metal joints, thin modeling cement where the metal only lies against plastic and just needs fixing around the edge. Apply a primer before painting. On British vehicles it pays to keep the weathering in dusty, dry tones rather than in dark mud, so that the small accessories are not lost.
The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted; it is an accessory for a model. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
