A photo-etched set for the self-propelled 37 mm anti-aircraft gun on the Pz.Kpfw. IV chassis in 1:35 scale is an accessory for a plastic kit you already own, not a standalone model. It replaces thick-walled plastic parts with thin, formable metal.
Responsibility details are not available.
An add-on set of photo-etched brass parts from Voyager Model, cut for the plastic kit named in the product name. It is not a model and not a kit but a supply of thin metal parts to take the place of the plastic ones. The abbreviations in the original name stand for the German words Fahrgestell (chassis) and Selbstfahrlafette (self-propelled mount).
This was a 37 mm anti-aircraft gun mounted on the chassis of the Pz.Kpfw. IV medium tank. The fighting compartment was surrounded by tall folding walls, which were dropped before firing began so that the crew had free traverse and elevation; the characteristic boxy silhouette earned the vehicle the nickname Möbelwagen. It is precisely those folding walls, their hinges, bracing and the tools on the fenders that are most on show on the model, and in plastic they inevitably come out too thick.
This type of set involves the most bending, so a proper photo-etch bending tool pays off, or at least two straight steel jaws and a ruler. Most photo-etched parts have a half-etched groove at the bend on the reverse side, so always bend away from it, otherwise the part will crack. Break long walls along their whole length at once, not in sections, otherwise the edge will come out wavy. Prepare small hinges and brackets in advance on a work surface and add them to the model only once the subassembly has dried.
The set is an accessory for a plastic kit and does not make up a model on its own. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package.
