About product

The rear control post for the Garford-Putilov 1:35 (Copper State Models)

This set of 3D-printed resin parts will add the rear driver's station to a model of the Garford-Putilov armored car. The 2023 release follows on from the kits of the Garford from the production of Copper State Models and refines an area that the basic kit captures only in its basic shapes. The set itself does not replace the vehicle.

The real subject

By the standards of its era the Garford-Putilov was an exceptionally heavy and unwieldy machine, and turning it around on a narrow front-line road was practically out of the question. The designers solved it in their own way: the vehicle was given a second control post facing to the rear. The second driver could take the armored car out of fire at full speed in the opposite direction at any moment, without the colossus having to turn around. This rarity fascinates everyone interested in early armored cars to this day, and on a model it is a rewarding theme to tell a story with.

Building and painting tips

Remove the print supports by nipping them off further from the part and take the remainder down with a small file, as the fine elements are fragile. A lukewarm bath with detergent is enough for degreasing; avoid hot water, as the thin parts could warp. Fix the assembly with spot drops of cyanoacrylate and set the mechanisms apart with metallic shades and a dark patina.

Who the set is for

  • builders of the Garford longing for a complete interior
  • modelers with an interest in the curiosities of early equipment
  • more experienced hands used to fine 3D-printed parts
  • storytellers of dioramas about withdrawal from a fight

FAQ

Because of its weight and dimensions it turned around with difficulty; the rear driver was able to back it out of a fight without turning.

They tend to be finer and instead of casting blocks they have thin supports that are easily removed by nipping and sanding.

It stands out best with the rear doors or hatches open, so reckon with that as early as when planning the build.
