1:16 Pz.Kpfw. I — cooling pipe set from T-Rex Studio is a resin accessory for the large scale. It replaces the cooling circuit pipework on a finished model; it is not a kit. Intended for Takom kits.
Responsibility details are not available.
Cast resin parts that replace the pipework of the cooling circuit of the German Pz.Kpfw. I light tank in 1:16 scale. This is a typical detail that in a large scale decides the credibility of a model — the pipework is routed on the outside, so it is directly visible on the finished machine. This is not a kit of the vehicle but an accessory for an existing model. The set is intended for Takom kits.
Tubes and runs are the least rewarding shape for injection-molded plastic. Molds cannot make them with a faithful wall thickness and with free space around them, so they tend to be simplified and attached to their surroundings. Cast resin copes with the shape better — it holds a thin wall and a sharp bend. In 1:16 that shows immediately: every flattening, every imperfect transition is visible from close up. The set therefore does not deal with the whole model but with one particular area that is otherwise hardest to make up by your own work.
Wash the parts in warm water with detergent and let them dry, so that no mold release agent is left on them. Cut the casting blocks off, do not snap them — thin castings of tubes break easily. Sand wet and with respiratory protection. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue; plastic cement has no effect on resin. When gluing thin parts the gel version is useful, as it leaves time to line things up. Before gluing, try the parts dry and plan the order so that you can still reach the pipework with a brush. Start painting with a primer coat.
The accessory is supplied unpainted and without the base kit. Glue and paints are not included in the package. Check before ordering that it matches your particular kit.
