About product

A radiator without the wide frame for the Lancia 3Ro in 1:35 scale

This casting in polyurethane resin from the Italian brand Royal Model is aimed at the front of the Lancia 3Ro heavy truck. It captures the version with a narrow, almost frameless radiator shell, of the kind carried by vehicles in North Africa and by examples put aside into civilian service. Injection-molded kits of this real subject tend to be fitted with the wide frame, so the replacement moves a finished vehicle to a different period of service.

The truck the front belongs to

Lancia of Turin supplied the 3Ro type to the Italian army from 1938. It was driven by a diesel engine, which among Italian vehicles of the time was far from the rule, and it was exactly its fuel economy that earned it a place at the head of supply columns in Africa and on the Eastern Front. The load-bearing frame also served as the basis of improvised self-propelled artillery, and a number of period photographs come from there.

How to seat the casting

Remove the grease from the surface with lukewarm soapy water, or the primer will not take. Separate the casting gate with a fine saw and level the mating surface on abrasive paper, so that the shell stands square to the longitudinal axis. Cyanoacrylate holds the joint. The ribbing comes out with a dark wash shade, which runs into the recesses, and with a fine dry brush along the edges.

Who it suits

  • builders of Italian equipment of the Second World War
  • for vehicles with the hood uncovered or tipped open
  • for dioramas of field workshops and evacuation points
  • as a small exercise in working with resin

The casting is supplied unpainted; paints and glue are not in the package.

FAQ

No, it is a single replacement part. It assumes that you already have a part-built model of the truck whose front section you want to replace with a more accurate casting.

With cyanoacrylate, that is with super glue. Solvent cements intended for polystyrene do not bite into this material and the joint would fall apart at the first touch.

Mold release agent remains on the surface. A short bath in lukewarm soapy water removes it; after it has dried a thin primer follows, and only then the covering shade.
