The Voyager Model 1:35 photo-etched detail set for the Finnish BT-42 assault gun is a basic metal accessory for the Tamiya 35318 plastic kit you already own. The package holds photo-etched brass parts, not a model of the vehicle.
Responsibility details are not available.
This basic photo-etched set in 1:35 scale is meant for completing a plastic kit of the Finnish BT-42 assault gun. It is not a kit of the vehicle but an accessory for the modeler: the brass parts replace thick-walled plastic sheet, clips and holders and add detail that injection molding cannot create. The set is cut for the Tamiya 35318 kit.
The BT-42 was a Finnish rebuild of a captured Soviet fast tank of the BT series. A new, tall and unusually shaped turret with a howitzer of British origin was seated on the original chassis with its characteristic large road wheels. Only a small number of vehicles came about and the machine remained one of the most distinctive designs of its time. For the modeler it is interesting for its combination of a Soviet chassis, a Finnish superstructure and British armament, with which the small external details in particular stand out.
Brass is smooth and paint holds poorly on it without preparation, especially on the edges and where you pick the model up during the build. So before painting, wash the finished photo-etched parts in warm water with a drop of dish soap, rinse them and let them dry without touching the surface with your fingers. Next comes a primer for metal applied by spraying in a thin coat; primer laid on heavily floods the fine relief of the photo-etched parts. Then build the paint up from several very thin coats. On parts that are going to be sprayed separately away from the model, work out in advance where you will hold them and leave a bit of surface there, or use double-sided tape.
A photo-etched set is an accessory for modelers; it is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
