About product

The follow-up photo-etched set for the Sturer Emil, 1:35

This supplementary metal set covers further areas of a model of the German heavy self-propelled gun and assumes that you are already working with the first part. Royal Model split the upgrade into two packages because the range of parts will not fit on a single one. The base remains a plastic kit, which the photo-etch only refines.

A 12.8 cm gun on the VK 30.01 chassis

The weapon was derived from a heavy gun originally intended for fortress and anti-aircraft use, and its range far exceeded what ordinary tank guns could do. The drawbacks were the massive weight of the round, which the loaders had to handle in a tight space, and the small ammunition supply. The superstructure protected the crew only from the front and the sides, and from above it stayed open to the sky and to shell splinters.

Weathering and surfaces

Metal takes harder treatment than plastic, so a dry brush and a graphite pencil for rubbing the edges work well on it. Soot around the muzzle suits a dark pigment applied dry. Before painting, though, clean the brass, as fingerprints show through the finish as matte patches. A final matte varnish then levels the sheen of the metal with the surrounding plastic into a single surface.

For which modelers

  • those who build this type in detail
  • anyone interested in German artillery equipment
  • modelers who enjoy weathering metal surfaces
  • advanced builders of extensive sets

The metal parts are supplied without paints, without glue and without the model itself.

FAQ

Yes, it just covers a narrower range of places. The two packages complement each other and were designed as a pair.

A dry brush in a lighter shade works well, or a gentle rub with a graphite pencil for the impression of steel.

Yes. Degreasing and a primer meant for metal are essential, otherwise the paint will peel off during handling.
