1:144 WWII German tank tools

What the set is for

A pick, a shovel, an axe, a pry bar, a fire extinguisher and a jack belonged to the equipment of German tanks of the Second World War as much a matter of course as the armament did. They had their fixed places on the sides and the rear of the hull, and it is precisely they that give a finished model its scale and a lived-in look. In 1:144 scale these small things tend to be merely suggested on a kit, which is why it pays to replace them with separate parts.

About the item

This is an accessory set for models of military hardware in 1:144 scale, not a kit of a vehicle. The material of the parts, their number and the way they are made will be found on the packaging and in the manufacturer's instructions, as will which particular kit they are shaped for. The guide is the manufacturer's enclosed instructions and the details on the packaging.

Building tips

Cut the surplus material off with a sharp blade a little way from the part and sand the remainder down carefully; in this scale we are dealing with tenths of a millimeter, so prepare the parts over a tray with a raised edge. Wash and degrease the surface before painting. Choose the glue according to the material of the parts and to the instructions. First cut the suggested tools off the hull and sand the area down, and only then settle the new parts in their proper places.
