A specialized photo-etched set from Voyager Model in 1:35 scale aimed at the fenders of Soviet self-propelled tank destroyers. It is meant for the Dragon 6098 and 6075 kits and replaces their plastic fenders with brass sheet at a true scale thickness. The set does not make up a standalone model.
The SU-100 was a Soviet self-propelled tank destroyer of the Second World War, built on the chassis of the T-34 medium tank and armed with a 100 mm gun in a fixed casemate. The SU-85M was a transitional type that used the same hull with an 85 mm gun. Both vehicles carried long sheet-metal fenders along the tracks, which in service were routinely bent, torn and missing.
A long photo-etched fender is the most sensitive part in the whole set. Cut it off the fret carefully, ideally on a glass or metal surface, and never bend it into a curve with your fingers, because brass remembers the shape and the flat will never come back. Before gluing, check the part against the light while it lies on a flat surface; the slightest ripple will show once painted as a wave along the whole length of the vehicle. Glue gradually from one end and keep checking that the fender follows the hull. If you want the vehicle to look well worn, photo-etched parts are ideal for exactly that: brass can be bent, torn or shortened in a way plastic will never reproduce faithfully, and the damage will look like real sheet metal.
The set is an accessory for a plastic kit and is not a standalone model. The kit, glue, paints and tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
