1:35 Gun ahield for Panzerjager I with 4.7 cm Pak - late version - additional set

Aber photo-etched set 1:35 – Panzerjäger I gun shield, late version (additional)

A photo-etched metal detail set, not a kit of the whole vehicle. The additional set gives the Panzerjäger I self-propelled anti-tank gun a gun shield in the late version. It is intended as an upgrade to a plastic kit and to the basic photo-etched set in 1:35 scale.

The real subject

The Panzerjäger I was the first German self-propelled anti-tank gun, made up of the chassis of the Panzer I Ausf.B light tank and a gun of 4.7 cm caliber in an open superstructure with a shield. The late version had a taller shield with better protection; the vehicles also served in the North African campaign.

Building tips

Separate the photo-etched parts with a sharp knife, and form the bends and the folded edges of the shield with a photo-etch bending tool for clean edges. Glue the metal with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) or with epoxy. Finish and paint the shield and the gun mount separately, and only then join them to the vehicle.

Who the set is for

• Advanced modelers building the late version of the Panzerjäger I
• Anyone interested in an accurate rendering of the gun shield
• Builders with experience of photo-etched parts

This is a detail accessory, not a vehicle model. The base kit, glue, paints and other parts are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
