A kit of a ground radar in 1:144 scale from the Czech manufacturer Brengun. The set is made up of resin castings and photo-etched parts, which makes it a kit for experienced modelers; it is not an injection-molded plastic model. The subject is the German radar equipment designated FuSE 65, known under the nickname Würzburg-Riese, that is, the large variant of the Würzburg family of radars with its conspicuous parabolic antenna. The model is neither an aircraft nor a vehicle, but an accessory of ground equipment that suits dioramas with hardware in 1:144 scale in particular.
Equipment of this kind was introduced during the year 1941 and served for the precise tracking of targets. It was used for guiding night fighters and for directing fire, while the large variant was marked by a markedly greater diameter of the parabolic reflector than the older, smaller form. Besides the stationary arrangement on service platforms a mobile version mounted on a railway chassis existed as well. The characteristic shape of the antenna makes this equipment a very recognizable element of any scene.
First wash the resin parts with lukewarm water and detergent, so that residues of the release agent are removed; otherwise the paint will not hold. Cut the casting blocks off with a saw or a cutter, not with nippers, and sand wet with protection for your airways. It is glued solely with cyanoacrylate, as ordinary cement for plastic works neither on resin nor on photo-etched parts. Bend the photo-etched parts over a metal ruler or in a bending tool, and always along the marked groove. Spray the whole with primer and only then paint; the fine texture of the antenna mesh comes out after a dark wash and a light dry brush. Stand the model on a surface with a crew or with hardware, as 1:144 scale brings the radar and aircraft together on one base.
The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted as a kit of resin and photo-etched parts. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
