A Hauler 1:35 photo-etched set for a modern shipping container is an accessory for a plastic kit of the container you have already bought, not a model in its own right. It refines the fittings and the surface elements that are necessarily coarser in plastic. The target kit is Italeri 6516.
Responsibility details are not available.
The sheet of photo-etched parts is cut for the Italeri 6516 plastic kit of the modern shipping container. The package is not a model of the container; it is an accessory for the modeler who already has the kit. The particular composition of the sheet is given by the maker on the packaging.
The standardized steel shipping container is the basic unit of modern logistics, used by civilian transport and army supply alike. Its look is set by the corrugated sheet of the walls, the corner elements for securing and the massive double doors with locking bars and hinge fittings. It is precisely these details that are plainly visible in 1:35 scale and that decide whether a container in a scene looks like a steel structure or like a plastic box.
Large flat photo-etched areas easily go wavy. Before gluing, straighten them with a roller on a smooth glass surface and apply the glue thinly over the whole area, not in drops, or bulging bubbles will arise. For such a joint thin super glue or a glue for photo-etch with a longer working time suits. After degreasing and a primer, paint the base shade, bring out the hinges and the locks with a thin wash and deal with the rust sparingly according to the age of the container. Plan the lettering and markings in advance, as on a broken-up surface decals settle less well and need a softener.
The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
