LT vz. 38 Light Tank
Developed by the ČKD design group in 1938, this light tank saw service in the Wehrmacht under the designation Pz.Kpfw. 38 (t). It is considered to be the best Czechoslovakian vehicle: a total of 1,400 tanks of eight modifications were produced.
The LT vz. 38 (Lehký tank vzor 38, Light Tank model 38) was a Czechoslovak tank of pre-World War II design. Manufacturer's designations included TNH series, TNHPS, LTP and LTH.
After Czechoslovakia was taken over by Germany, it was adopted by the German Army, seeing service in the invasions of Poland, France, and Russia. The German designation was Panzerkampfwagen 38(t). The (t) stands for tschechisch, the German word for Czech. Production ended in 1942, when its armament was deemed inadequate. In all, over 1400 were manufactured. The chassis continued to be produced for the Marder III (1942-1944) with some of its components used in the later Jagdpanzer 38 (1944-1945) tank destroyers, turretless assault guns, anti-tank guns and anti-aircraft guns.
Cleaning Information
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. 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.
