1:35 German WW2 Fusprech A40 Radio Set with Accessories Set 3d print parts

A German vehicle radio set with accessories 1:35 (Ginger Cat)

A printed resin set of a German Second World War vehicle radio supplemented by accessories, in 1:35 scale from the Turkish brand Ginger Cat. The box gives the radio under the designation Fusprech A40, which is the manufacturer's own designation. It makes it by high-resolution resin printing. This is an accessory for a vehicle interior and for a scene, not a kit; paints and glue are not included in the package.

What it is suited to

A radio set is one of those parts that decide whether the interior of an armored vehicle looks alive. In reality the crew had the set mounted on a bracket by the wall of the fighting compartment, and with it went headphones, a microphone, cables and spare power sources, and it is exactly those small items that a plastic kit usually lacks. The manufacturer therefore supplies the radio together with its accessories, so that the whole installation can be built.

Usage tips

First wash the printed resin parts in warm soapy water so that the print residue disappears from the surface and the paint will hold. Cut off the supports with a saw or a cutting disc, never with nippers, which will break the resin. The manufacturer recommends applying a base before painting. Glue the parts with cyanoacrylate glue or epoxy, as cement for plastic will not hold here. A dark wash into the recesses and a drybrush on the edges will draw out the detail. Wear a respirator while sanding.

Who the set is for

• builders of armored vehicle interiors in 1:35 scale
• modelers who build a model with open hatches or an open hull
• those interested in Second World War signals equipment
• more experienced builders used to printed resin

This is an accessory to a model, not a kit. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
