1:35 Bren carrier accesories set

The real subject

The Bren Carrier belongs to the family of British light tracked carriers of the Second World War. It is a low vehicle, open at the top, with a tracked running gear, which carried a machine gun, ammunition, signals material and the wounded, and became one of the most widespread machines of the British army. Because it has no roof, the inside of it can be seen, and the stowage on a model is seen just as well as the vehicle itself.

What the set is for

An accessory set in 1:35 scale gives a model exactly that layer. An empty vehicle looks like a product from a factory, whereas a vehicle with its equipment stowed looks like a machine in use. The extent of the package and the overview of the individual parts are given by the manufacturer's documentation, from which you can plan in advance what will fit in the vehicle and what will be left for the terrain around it.

Building and painting tips

Try the placing out dry first and only then glue, so that the stowage does not cover the details you put work into. Leave views through between the pieces; an overfilled hull comes across as unbelievable. Cut the surplus material away with a sharp blade a little way from the part and sand the rest back; wash and degrease the parts before painting. Choose the glue according to the material of the parts. Paint the accessories apart from the vehicle and tie them in only at the end with a light application of dust, or they will come across as a foreign body stuck on.

Who it is for

The set suits modelers who are building the vehicle into a diorama or who want to give it a lived-in look. Paints, glue and other equipment are not included, unless stated otherwise.
