Eduard 35596 Sd. Kfz.11 leichte 3t (AFV CLUB) 1/35 – Photo-Etched Parts for the German Half-Track Vehicle

Eduard 35596 is a high-quality photo-etched parts set designed for the Sd.Kfz.11 leichte 3t model by AFV CLUB in 1/35 scale. The Sd. Kfz. 11 (Sonderkraftfahrzeug 11) was a German light half-track tractor primarily used by the Wehrmacht during World War II. Produced from 1938 to 1945, it saw widespread service on all fronts as an ammunition carrier, supply vehicle, and as a platform for towing anti-aircraft and anti-tank guns (e.g., 7.5 cm Pak 40).

The Eduard 35596 set significantly enhances the detailing of the AFV CLUB plastic model, enabling an accurate reconstruction of this historical vehicle, capturing even the smallest details. The set includes precisely made photo-etched brass elements, allowing for realistic reproduction of both interior and exterior details, such as:

• Crew and passenger seat belts
• Detailed handles and dashboard elements
• Pedals, levers, wiper arms
• Small details for the body panels and storage compartments
• Brackets, locks, and hinges for external lockers
• Engine hood surface components

This product is intended for advanced and intermediate modelers building World War II military vehicles who expect the highest level of detail replication. Photo-etched parts are much thinner and more precise than plastic components, making the set very attractive for those working with historical dioramas or reconstructing specific versions of the Sd.Kfz.11.

Modeling category: Upgrade set – photo-etched parts for plastic model kits.

Material: Photo-etched brass. The set does not include plastic parts and is intended as an upgrade for the base AFV CLUB model.

Assembly difficulty (scale 1-5): 4/5 – the set requires precise work and experience in bending and assembling small metal parts.

I highly recommend Eduard 35596 to modelers building 1/35 scale military vehicles who care about the highest level of detail and realistic appearance for World War II models. An excellent choice for fans of historical dioramas and reconstructions!
