About product

Voyager Model 1:48 M4A1 — photo-etched detail set

An aftermarket accessory of photo-etched brass in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit: the set serves to improve a plastic model you already have and is prepared for the kit given in the product name. Its scope matches a smaller set aimed at selected areas of the vehicle rather than a complete conversion package.

The real subject

The M4A1 was the variant of the American M4 Sherman medium tank with a cast hull, which the characteristic rounded shapes of the front end distinguish from the welded versions. The Sherman was the most widespread American tank of the Second World War, built in enormous numbers and in several engine and armament configurations; it also served in Allied armies. The cast hulls of the M4A1 are among the most easily recognized versions of the whole family.

Building and painting tips

The most common reason a photo-etched set ends up unfinished is a lost part. Work over a light-colored surface with a raised edge, cut the parts off while holding them with the tip of a knife, and use tweezers with fine, preferably ground tips. Put a drop of cyanoacrylate on a piece of film and carry it with a pin; never glue straight from the bottle. It is a good idea to try the individual parts dry before gluing and to mark on the instructions what is already done. Degrease the brass before painting and spray it first with a primer for metal, and only then with the base color.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who want to refine selected areas of a finished model without a major rebuild
  • Builders who want to try working with photo-etched parts on a smaller scope
  • Anyone interested in American armor in 1:48 scale

The set is an accessory for a plastic kit, which it does not include. The glue, paints and tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It does not. It is a photo-etched accessory for the plastic kit given in the product name, which has to be owned or bought separately.

Proceed on the basis that it is prepared for the kit given in the name. The individual Sherman versions differ in hull and in details, so do not assume universal use.

Cut them off while holding them with the tip of a knife over a light-colored surface with a raised edge, and use tweezers with fine tips. It pays to work in small batches.
