German headlights of the Second World War are a 3D-printed set in 1:48 scale from the Czech maker Eduard. It is not a model but an accessory to a kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is not a vehicle model but an accessory set. It holds twenty-four German headlights of the Second World War, that is, the part that repeats on every single piece of a vehicle collection and tends to be simplified in the kit box. The quantity is enough for a whole collection of vehicles and for a diorama as well.
3D printing can do what an injection mold cannot: shapes with undercuts, thin walls and openings that could never be drawn out of a mold. A part therefore comes into being straight away in the form the real thing has, instead of being split into halves with a seam down the middle. The price paid for it is the brittleness of the material.
A headlight is an unmissable and at the same time small part on German vehicles of the Second World War. Most often it was a cylindrical body on a short bracket, on some vehicles supplemented by a cover with a narrow slit for blackout driving. In an injection-molded kit it tends to be molded as a solid piece, because a cavity with a reflector cannot be made in a mold. A printed part has the shape including the interior, so it looks like a lamp and not like a button.
The printed parts are brittle, so separate them from the print supports with a cut, never by breaking them. Level the cut surface on abrasive paper so that the part seats. They are glued with super glue, which you apply with a pin, not straight from the bottle. Before painting, wash the surface and go over it with a primer, otherwise the paint will not hold on the smooth resin. Protect your airways while sanding.
The set is supplied unassembled and unpainted as 3D-printed parts. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
