1:35 Pz - 38t

The real subject

Under the designation Pz.Kpfw. 38(t), a light tank of Czechoslovak design served in German service. The hallmark of its running gear is four large road wheels on each side, thanks to which the silhouette of the vehicle cannot be confused with any other German machine of the time. It stayed in service from the start of the war and its chassis went on serving long afterward as the basis of other vehicles.

What the set contains

This is a set of wheels for a model of the Pz.Kpfw. 38(t) in 1:35 scale, carried as an accessory for a kit. Wheels are visible from every angle on a finished model and are among the parts where a refinement of shape shows even without comparison with the real thing. The number of pieces, the scope of the set and the kit it is cut for are given in the manufacturer's description and instructions; check the match before buying.

Building and painting tips

Cut the excess material away with a sharp blade a little from the part and sand the rest carefully, so that the outline of the wheel stays regular. Wash and degrease the parts before painting. Try the fit dry and make sure all the wheels sit in one plane, otherwise the model will stand crooked. Separate the rim and the rubber tire in color only after the base shade has dried, as an overrun edge is then easier to correct.
