About product

Dodge WC-52, a photo-etched set in 1:35 scale

A photo-etched accessory set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard for 1:35 scale. The parts of thin sheet metal replace simplified plastic parts of the Dodge WC-52 model and add elements that are as thin as sheet metal in reality, so injection-molded plastic cannot capture them faithfully. The set is fitted onto a model you already have and moves it one level up.

The real subject

The Dodge WC-52 belongs to the extensive family of American three-quarter-ton vehicles of the WC series, which served with the Allied armies in the Second World War in dozens of adaptations from an ambulance to a command car. The WC-52 is an open truck with a cargo bed for carrying men and material, equipped with a front winch. It is precisely the winch that sets it apart from the otherwise very similar WC-51. The vehicles of the WC series were powered by a six-cylinder inline engine and had all-wheel drive, which gave them good cross-country performance.

Building and painting tips

Separate the photo-etched parts with a scalpel against a hard surface and level the burrs with a fine file. Make the bends in a bender or between razor blades. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue applied in the smallest amount; an excess floods the detail and is hard to remove. Degrease the metal before painting and spray a primer on. With vehicles of this type it pays to have the interior of the cargo bed and the instrument panel finished before the model is closed up. For weathering, a dark wash into the recesses suits well, as do dust pigments on the wheel arches and the underside of the cargo bed and fine rubbing of the edges with a dry brush.

Who the set is for

  • builders of American military equipment of the Second World War in 1:35
  • modelers who want to refine the sheet metal parts and grilles on the WC-52
  • anyone interested in a diorama with an open truck
  • those who already have experience of photo-etched metal

FAQ

Both vehicles are based on the same three-quarter-ton chassis. The WC-52 is equipped with a front winch and is therefore somewhat longer, while the WC-51 has no winch.

For 1:35 scale, that is the common scale of models of ground military equipment.

With cyanoacrylate glue applied with the tip of a wire, or with a more slowly setting type, which gives time for lining the part up.

We recommend it. Photo-etched metal is smooth and without a primer the paint is easily rubbed off the edges during further handling.
