Product Description
1/144 Scale WW2 German Army Durchbruchswagen 2 Heavy Tank.
Highly detailed tank with accurate Track detail and moveable Turret.
Contains:
Durchbruchswagen 2 Heavy Tank
In January of 1937 Henschel and Sons was instructed by German military leadership to develop a heavy tank weighing 30 tons. This initial project was called Durchbruchwagen I; in parallel to this project was a project for a heavy tank weighing 33 tons called Durchbruchwagen II. Both tanks were powered by a Maybach HL 120 engine providing 35 km/h in speed. A partially complete prototype of the Durchbruchswagen 2 was made in 1938. The Durchbruchswagen 2 was intended to use the turret of a Panzer IV Ausf C.. Although the Durchbruchswagen 2 was canceled in late 1938, it would continue to be a subject of research and testing into 1941 providing valuable experience for other designs.
Some part cleanup will be necessary. The 3D printing process uses a waxy substance to support certain part features during the printing process. Although the parts are cleaned by Shapeways, some waxy residue may remain. It can be safely removed with water and a mild aqueous detergent like "Simple Green" using an old, soft toothbrush, Q-tips or pipe cleaners. Customers report that "Bestine" and "Goo Gone" also work well.During the printing process, liquid resin is cured by ultraviolet light. Microscopic bits of resin may remain uncured.
Let your parts sit in direct sunlight for a few hours to fully cure the resin.
Water-based acrylic paints meant for plastics is strongly recommended. Other paints, especially enamels, may not cure on Frosted Detail 3D-printed plastics.
Use dedicated model sprue cutters to remove parts to minimise the risk of damage to parts.
