About product

Kangaroo - accessories set 1:35 (Black Dog)

A cast resin set of accessories for the Allied Kangaroo armored personnel carrier in 1:35 scale from the Czech maker Black Dog. It holds separate parts of equipment, cargo and tarpaulins with which the open infantry compartment is filled. As base kit it names the Kangaroo from Italeri. The set is not a model of the vehicle.

The real subject

The Kangaroo was not a newly developed vehicle but a field conversion: the Allies removed the turret from a tank and an armored personnel carrier for infantry was the result. Canadian Ram tanks, the Priest self-propelled howitzer and Shermans were all used for it. The Kangaroo was introduced in 1944 by the British 79th Armoured Division, and units used them to carry infantry right behind the advancing tanks in northwest Europe.

Building and painting tips

First rinse the resin parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove the mold release residue. Cut the casting blocks off with a fine-tooth saw rather than snapping them. Sanding is better done under water or with respiratory protection. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); solvent cement for plastic will not hold on resin. A primer is needed before painting. The inside of the body tends to be empty on a model, so it pays to lay out the equipment so that it covers the flat surfaces.

Who the set is for

  • modelers of Allied equipment from 1944 and 1945
  • builders of dioramas with an infantry dismount
  • more experienced modelers used to working with resin

The accessory set is supplied unassembled and unpainted. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

An armored personnel carrier created by removing the turret from a tank. The Allies used Ram tanks, Shermans and the Priest self-propelled howitzer for it.

It is not. These are resin accessories for a finished model; the base kit has to be obtained separately.

As base kit it names the Kangaroo from Italeri in 1:35 scale.

Cyanoacrylate glue, that is super glue; solvent cement for plastic will not hold.
