39H 105mm Pt.1
PE Update

Set # PE 35050
Review by Terry Ashley

TrumpeterTThis set is designed for the Trumpeter German 39(H) 10.5cm leFH18(Sf) auf Geschutzwagen (Kit #00353) and consists of two large frets of etched parts, two smaller frets and a short length of plastic rod.

The parts are as cleanly etched with the usual engraved bending lines as well as relief etched where required and the larger fret is in thicker material than the other frets.

Basically the etched parts replace the entire upper superstructure of the Trumpeter kit including the large side plates, front driver’s plate and inner structures as well as the rear plate with separate entry doors.

The driver’s visor and rear entry doors have separate workable hinges made with the etched hinges and thin rod provided while the rear exhaust grills are made up of the outer frame and separate inner louvers which will take a while to assemble but should look good when fitted.

On the inside of the superstructure are the support braces and spaced front armour panels plus some other smaller fittings.

This is a major reworking of the kit but as the etched panels simple replace the kit parts there is no surgery requires and the only area to watch is the fitting of the fenders to the superstructure.

Conclusion:
A major update that will require some experience working with etched parts and soldering would give the best results when fitting the large panels but overall will provide a finer appearance of the kit for the adventurous.
