About product

Sd.Kfz. 234/1 8Rad 1:35 — photo-etched set from Voyager Model

An aftermarket detail set from Voyager Model for 1:35 scale. It is cut for the Dragon 6298 plastic kit and replaces selected plastic parts of it with thin brass sheet. The set is not a model in itself; it serves as an accessory for the build. The scope of the set and the number of parts can be found from the contents of the package.

The real subject

The Sd.Kfz. 234/1 was a variant of the German heavy eight-wheeled armored car, armed with a 2 cm autocannon in an open turret with a wire mesh screen against grenades from above. The vehicle had a load-bearing hull, all-wheel drive, steering on both the front and the rear axles and a second driver's station for a quick withdrawal. It was meant for long-range reconnaissance, where speed and range counted for more than armor protection.

Planning the order of work pays off

On wheeled vehicles with an open turret the rule is that whatever has to be seen inside must be finished before the turret is closed up. Go through the instructions for the photo-etched set before you start gluing the plastic hull, and write out the steps that have to be done on a part-built model. Typically these are the inner walls, the mesh screen and brackets you will not reach later. Lay the photo-etched part on dry and check whether the plastic part needs a molding pip sanded off first, because the brass sheet has to seat on a flat surface, otherwise a gap opens underneath it. Only then glue, and paint the whole thing together at the very end so that the shade of metal and plastic matches.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of German wheeled reconnaissance subjects in 1:35 scale
  • Modelers who want to refine the mesh and the inner surfaces of an open turret
  • More experienced builders used to planning a build from two sets of instructions at once
  • Competition and display models, where detail is judged close up

The set is an accessory for a plastic kit and is not a standalone model. The kit, glue, paints and tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Yes. This is an accessory for the Dragon 6298 plastic kit, which has to be bought separately. The set does not make up a model on its own.

A number of parts have to be fitted before the hull and the turret are closed up. We recommend going through the instructions for the photo-etched set before you start building the kit.

The package holds a photo-etched brass fret and instructions. The specific number of parts and the list of areas being replaced can be found in the enclosed instructions.

Degrease them first, then a thin primer and only then the paint. A heavy coat fills the fine relief of the photo-etched parts and the whole effect is lost.
