Eduard 1:35 WWII German fire extinguishers PRINT

This accessory from the Czech maker Eduard contains 3D printed resin fire extinguishers used by the German army in the Second World War, in 1:35 scale. It is not a model but a detail accessory for armored vehicles and dioramas. Photo-etched parts and decals with stencils complete the set.

What the set is for

Miniature fire extinguishers bring the interiors and the outside stowage of tanks and vehicles to life, or serve as a small item for dioramas and display cases. Thanks to direct 3D printing they have sharp shapes and fine details that classic injected parts usually cannot offer. The photo-etched elements and the decals allow a faithful finish.

Usage tips

Separate the tiny resin parts carefully from the carriers and wash off any print residue. They are bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Use a primer for painting and bring the accessories out with a wash or a dry brush. Work with the photo-etched parts using tweezers and a sharp knife.

Who the set is for

• Builders of German armored vehicles in 1:35 scale
• Diorama makers who want faithful details
• Modelers with experience of resin and photo-etch

The set does not contain a vehicle model, paints or glue. It serves as a detail accessory.
