Eduard 1:35 German Sd.Kfz.186 Jagdtiger (Porsche Production) fenders is a photo-etched set of fenders for a model of this heavy tank destroyer. The metal fenders are as thin as the real thing and can be convincingly deformed.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a specialized photo-etched set from the Czech maker Eduard, not a kit. It replaces the plastic fenders on a model of the German Sd.Kfz.186 Jagdtiger heavy tank destroyer in the version with Porsche running gear, in 1:35. Fenders are among the parts on ground vehicle models where the difference between plastic and metal shows best: a plastic fender always has an unrealistically thick edge, while photo-etched metal matches the real thickness of the sheet. Metal can also be bent, dented or partly torn away, so you can build the vehicle with damaged running gear, the way photographs of real equipment look.
The Jagdtiger was a German heavy tank destroyer from the end of the Second World War, built on the lengthened chassis of a heavy tank, with a large-caliber gun in a fixed fighting casemate. Because of its enormous weight it had limited mobility and an unreliable drivetrain. It was made in two patterns of running gear; the Porsche variant is recognized by the different arrangement of its road wheels. On these vehicles in service the fenders were often missing or bent.
Separate the parts with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface and bend them slowly in a bending tool or between two blades. Do the deformation with a round tool on a soft surface; metal takes shape easily, but you will never get it back, so work in small steps. Cut the plastic fenders off and sand the surface flat so that the metal sits down. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Degrease and prime the metal before painting. Pigment weathering stands out around the fenders, because that is exactly where mud and dust collect in reality.
The set is neither a model nor a kit; it is an add-on to a model sold separately. The paints, the glue and the tools are not included in the package.
