About product

Pickaxes 1:48 from Eduard

A set of four pickaxes for German vehicles of the Second World War in 1:48 scale. It is an accessory, not a model: the parts are made by 3D printing from resin and replace the pioneer tools, which in a kit tend to be molded in a simplified way or straight in one piece with the fender.

Why tools in particular

Shovels, axes and pickaxes were part of the required equipment of almost every military vehicle. Crews used them to free bogged-down wheels, to dig shelters and to prepare approaches. On a model they are visible at once, because they lie on the outer surfaces and a viewer looks them over before anything inside. A thin neck on the haft and clearly separated edges make the difference between a nicely built model and a model that looks like the real thing.

Usage tips

Cut the original tools molded on the fender away with a scalpel and smooth the area with fine abrasive paper. Separate the new parts from the supports and glue them on with super glue. A wooden haft looks better when brown oil paint is drawn over an ocher base and pulled along the grain with a brush. A metal head takes a dark base and light drybrushing in a steel shade.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of German vehicles in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who are bothered by simplified tools in a kit
  • Dioramas and scenes with vehicles in field conditions
  • More experienced builders used to working with resin

The set is an accessory to a plastic kit, not a model in its own right. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

Yes, that is exactly what it is for. The original molding is cut away, the area smoothed, and the printed part glued onto it.

Four pickaxes, as the designation of the set states.

The shape is based on German pioneer tools. On vehicles of other armies it has to be checked whether the shape matches.

After washing and drying, with a thin coat of primer, and only then the color coat.
