1:35 Industry arched windows No.: 8 (3 pcs)

1:35 Industry arched windows No.: 8 - arched industrial windows for a diorama

It is not a kit of a vehicle and not a finished model of a building. It is a diorama accessory: window elements in their own right, which are seated into the wall of a set piece you build yourself. The name states that the set contains three pieces and that this is version number 8 from the numbered range of arched industrial windows in 1:35 scale.

Where a window like this suits

A window with a segmental or semicircular arched head is a typical sign of brick industrial architecture of the nineteenth and the beginning of the twentieth century - of factory halls, engine houses, warehouses, locomotive sheds and station buildings. It is just such structures that make up the background of most scenes of fighting in city and industrial buildings, whether on the eastern front, in Italy or in postwar scenes. The tall arch of the window also gives a scene a vertical that balances the low silhouette of a tank or an armored personnel carrier.

Installation tips

• Trace the opening in the wall from the part first and only then cut it out - widening it afterward is hard to hide.
• Fill the joint between the frame and the masonry with modeling filler, so that the window comes across as built in and not stuck on.
• The glazing is best settled with a clear film glued on from behind; a matte film will imitate dusty glass.
• Smashed panes and a buckled frame will give a scene action, but leave at least one window whole - the contrast is then more readable.

Who the set is for

For builders of dioramas and vignettes in 1:35 who put a building together out of individual architectural elements and want the windows to match the industrial real subject. The numbered range makes it possible to combine several types of window in one facade.
