Responsibility details are not available.
A basic photo-etched metal set in 1:48 scale for a model of the German Pz.Kpfw. IV medium tank in the Ausf.H and early Ausf.J versions. The designation part 1 and the word basic mean that this is the starting set of the whole range Aber offers for this vehicle. It therefore deals with the main details of the hull and turret, while the later parts of the same range are devoted to the fenders and to the side and turret armor skirts. It is not a kit of the tank but an accessory to a model you buy separately.
The Pz.Kpfw. IV was the most numerous German medium tank of the Second World War, and in the Ausf.H version of 1943 it received thicker frontal armor, a long 75 mm gun and the characteristic side and turret armor skirts. The following Ausf.J version simplified production, but in its early form it kept many of the features of its predecessor, so the two versions share a large part of their details. The tank served on every front until the end of the war and became the backbone of the German tank units in its second half.
Separate the photo-etched parts with a sharp scalpel on a hard mat, not with nippers, which deform the sheet. Make the bends in a bending tool or between two razor blades, and on longer edges work slowly and evenly. Degrease the brass before gluing, use cyanoacrylate glue, and on loaded joints micro-soldering helps as well. Lay down a base coat intended for metal before painting, otherwise the paint will not hold on the etched parts and will peel off while the model is handled. The set is meant for more advanced modelers who already have experience with photo-etch.
This is a detail accessory for your own model, not a complete kit of a vehicle. Glue, paints and the base model are not included in the package.
