About product

Fire extinguishers 1:48 from Eduard

A set of four fire extinguishers 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, so they have a clean cylindrical body, a distinct head with a valve and fine details of the mount, which get lost in plastic at this scale.

Where a fire extinguisher sits on a vehicle

A portable fire extinguisher was part of the required equipment of combat and cargo vehicles alike. It used to be held in a bracket on the fender, on the wall of the cargo bed or inside the fighting compartment near the driver's position. The engine and fuel section of a vehicle burned fast and a crew had only a few seconds to act, so the extinguisher had to be at hand. On a model it is one of the features that give away at once whether the builder took trouble over the equipment.

Usage tips

Separate the parts from the supports with a sharp knife, sand down the pad left by a support and wash the surface in lukewarm water with dish soap. They are glued with super glue. Red covers poorly, so a white or gray primer and several thin coats pay off. A satin varnish then gives the body a fine sheen and small scrapes on the edges turn a clean part into a used thing.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of German vehicles in 1:48 scale
  • Modelers who finish the interior as well as the external equipment
  • Dioramas with vehicles seen from close up
  • 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

Four pieces, as the designation of the set states.

They are printed resin parts representing the body of an extinguisher. An interior cavity is not stated by the manufacturer and is not stated here.

The usual one is red for the body and a dark metal for the head with the valve. Red covers poorly, so a light primer is recommended.

Yes, the mount used to be both inside the fighting compartment and outside on the fender or the cargo bed.
