1:48 Russian medium tank T-34/76 1941 model - vol. 3 - additional set - fenders

Photo-etched fenders T-34/76 model 1941 1:48 – vol.3 (Aber)

This is a photo-etched detail accessory, not a model. The additional set (vol.3) is aimed at the fenders for models of the Soviet T-34/76 model 1941 medium tank in 1:48 scale. Thin brass sheet makes it possible to capture the real gauge of the fenders faithfully, which thick-walled plastic cannot do.

What the set is for

The fenders of the T-34 were often bent, dented or partly missing in service. Etched sheet can be shaped exactly and used to suggest such battle damage, which gives the model an authentic look. The set follows on from the basic set (vol.1) and the grille covers (vol.2) in the same range.

Building tips

Cut the parts from the fret, run the bends over a metal ruler or a bending tool and glue them with cyanoacrylate glue. For the damage effect, dent the sheet carefully with a blunt tool. Degrease the brass before painting and go over it with a primer.

Who the set is for

• Builders of models of the T-34/76 model 1941 in 1:48 scale
• Modelers who want realistically thin fenders with the option of damage
• More experienced hands with photo-etch experience

The accessory does not hold the model of the tank itself, nor paints or glue. It serves only to detail a kit.
