Responsibility details are not available.
A set of photo-etched metal fenders in 1:35 scale for the German Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf.L Luchs light reconnaissance tank. As the target kit the manufacturer names Border BT-018. It is not a model of the tank but an accessory aimed at a single thing: sheet-metal fenders, which on the real vehicle are a few millimeters thick and in injection-molded plastic always come out too heavy.
The Pz.Kpfw.II Ausf.L Luchs was the last development branch of the Pz.II light tank, a vehicle meant purely for reconnaissance, with a two-man turret, a 2 cm cannon and wide tracks for soft ground. Only about a hundred were built and they served with the reconnaissance detachments of the panzer divisions on the Eastern and the Western Front alike. Late machines can be told by the add-on brackets on the rear of the hull.
The fenders are long thin strips, so they warp easily. Cut them with a scalpel on a hard surface, do not snap them out. Run the bend along the whole length in a bending tool, ideally in one pass. Bent and glued fenders are best left to cure attached to the plastic edge of the hull so that they hold a straight line. Degrease the metal before painting and lay a metal primer under it. Dents and bent edges can be rendered very faithfully in this material.
It is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
