British Small Box Girder Bridge in 1:35 scale from AFV Club is a kit accessory of a British engineer bridge unit, not a vehicle model.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is an accessory, not a model of a combat vehicle. The Small Box Girder is a British engineer bridge unit from the period of the Second World War, which an engineer tank carried on a structure at the front and lowered across an obstacle so that other equipment could cross over it. The set in 1:35 scale makes it possible to build the bridge as an object of a scene in its own right, or to use it as a load or an accessory with a model of an engineer vehicle.
Portable bridge units belonged to the engineer equipment that made it possible to cross an anti-tank ditch, a low wall or a steep bank quickly, without waiting for a permanent crossing to be built. The structure was designed as a welded girder frame, so a vehicle could carry it and lower it on the move. That is exactly why the bridge is a rewarding subject for a diorama: on its own it tells what is happening in the scene.
Glue the girder structure on a flat surface and keep checking whether the frame has picked up a twist; on long lattice parts that happens easily and it shows on a finished model. Choose the glue according to the material of the parts; on injection-molded plastic a thin cement that runs into the joint by capillary action works well, as any excess would remain as a mark on visible edges. Once dry, sand the mold seams down and apply a primer, which reveals irregularities sooner than paint. We recommend painting with an airbrush in two tones, so that the frame does not look flat. Credibility comes from a dark wash in the joints, fine scuffs on the edges and dust or mud in the places where the bridge touches the terrain.
The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and a base are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
