E.T. Model E35-241 Soviet "Elbrus" Scud-B (For TRUMPETER 01019) 1/35 – Photo-etched Detail Upgrade

E.T. Model E35-241 Soviet "Elbrus" Scud-B (For TRUMPETER 01019) is a professional set of photo-etched parts specially designed to enhance the Soviet R-17 "Elbrus" ballistic missile model, more widely known as the "Scud-B", in 1/35 scale. The set is aimed at modelers using the highly popular Trumpeter 01019 plastic kit, offering an excellent improvement of details and realism.

• Scale: 1/35 – dedicated for models in this scale, ensuring compatibility and precision during assembly.
• User country: USSR (Union of Soviet Socialist Republics) – the SCUD-B system was used by the USSR armed forces and extensively exported to countries in the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
• Historical note: The SCUD-B was one of the most important Soviet tactical ballistic missiles of the Cold War era. These missiles were used, among others, during the Iran-Iraq War, in conflicts in the Middle East (e.g., Arab-Israeli wars), and during the Gulf War in 1991.
• Period of use: Cold War, 1960s–present – SCUD systems have been in operational use since the early 1960s and, in various versions, still appear on many battlefields today.
• Material: photo-etched brass sheet – the components are precisely cut, significantly increasing the level of detail representation (brackets, panels, ladders, handles, grille details, etc.).
• Add-ons: no resin parts included – the set consists entirely of top-quality E.T. Model photo-etched elements.
• Category: photo-etched set for plastic model kits – specifically designed for the Trumpeter 01019 kit.
• Difficulty level: 4/5 – recommended for advanced modelers due to the precision and required experience in working with photo-etched parts.
• Recommendation: An ideal choice for military modelers who wish to increase the realism and detailed appearance of the Soviet Scud-B missile. Perfect both for dioramas and for competition displays.

The E.T. Model E35-241 set provides all the necessary details to replicate the most important structural elements of the transporter vehicle and the missile itself. Working with photo-etched parts requires precision and patience, but the final result will satisfy even the most demanding modeler's eye. It is an excellent investment for enthusiasts of Cold War subjects and ballistic weaponry.
