About product

Headlight and periscope guards for the M5 and M8 in 1:48 scale (Special Hobby)

This is not a vehicle kit but a 3D-printed resin set of protective guards for the headlights and periscopes of models of the American M5 and M8 light armored vehicles in 1:48 scale. The faithfully rendered mesh replaces simplified plastic parts or adds what the base kit lacks. The manufacturer is the Czech company Special Hobby.

What the set is for

The protective cages over the headlights and periscopes are small but conspicuous details that give an armored vehicle an authentic military look. 3D printing makes it possible to capture thin bars and fine mesh that would be far too coarse in plastic. The set therefore raises the realism of the model with a minimum of work.

Fitting and painting tips

Carefully separate the delicate parts from the print supports, wash them and clean them up (protect your airways). They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Paint them along with the rest of the vehicle, then bring them out with a wash and a light dry brush to pick out the edges.

Who the set is for

  • builders of M5 and M8 models in 1:48 scale
  • anyone after fine visible detail on an armored vehicle
  • modelers used to working with resin

This is an accessory, not a complete model. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package.

FAQ

No, it is an add-on set of protective headlight and periscope guards for M5 and M8 models in 1:48 scale.

Resin printed on a 3D printer, which makes very fine mesh possible.

Separate them from the supports carefully, wash them and glue them with super glue; they are fragile.
