An E.T. Model photo-etched detail set in 1:35 for the German Jagdpanther tank destroyer of the early production run, in the basic extent. It is not a kit but a metal accessory for refining the external details of a model.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a photo-etched detail set, that is an addition to a plastic kit, and not a model of a vehicle. Thin metal sheet makes it possible to produce parts that cannot be made in injection-molded plastic: the grilles of the engine bay, thin fenders, loops, tool clamps, hatch latches and other small items whose thickness is barely visible in 1:35 scale. The designation of the basic version of the set in the maker's range means that it concentrates on the main external elements of the vehicle.
The Jagdpanther was a German tank destroyer of the Second World War built on the chassis of the Panther tank. In a low welded casemate it carried an 8.8 cm anti-tank gun with a long barrel, which was among the most effective weapons of its day. The combination of strong sloped frontal protection, the powerful drivetrain from the Panther and a low silhouette made it a feared type, though it was built only in limited numbers from 1944. The early production runs differ from the later ones in the form of the gun mantlet, the arrangement of the vision ports and the details of the mounting of tools and spare parts, and it is exactly these that such additions emphasize on a model.
Keep the fret together for as long as possible and cut the parts off only just before gluing. Make the bends along the pressed score lines, ideally in a bending tool. Glue with cyanoacrylate glue applied in a minimal amount, so that the excess does not run into the detail. Degrease the metal surfaces before painting and give them a base coat for metal. On German equipment a dark brown or black preshade works well, with the main shade over it and finally a wash in the recesses and dust pigments on the bottom of the hull and the fenders.
The package contains only photo-etched parts. The base kit, glue, paints and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
