1:35 IDF Basktrail Urdan compete kit

IDF Urdan BackTrail 1:35 from Black Dog, a complete resin kit

This complete resin kit in 1:35 scale from Black Dog captures the Israeli Urdan logistics transport trailer. It is a resin kit for experienced modelers: the box holds a full set of cast parts for building the whole trailer, not just an add-on set. The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted.

The real subject

Trailers of this type serve with the Israel Defense Forces for logistics and moving supplies in the field. They are inconspicuous but indispensable for resupply, and they round out a diorama with Israeli vehicles, from tractors to armored cars. The sturdy frame and the load bed leave room for cargo accessories and for building a scene around them.

Building and painting tips

Wash the resin parts first in lukewarm water with a drop of detergent so that the mold release agent is gone. Cut the sprue gates and casting blocks off with a saw or a knife and wear respiratory protection while sanding. Bond the parts with super glue (cyanoacrylate), ideally with an activator. Apply a good primer before painting; washes and pigments suit the mud and dust effects typical of field service.
