Very Fire 1:350 DETAIL UP SET for USS Cleveland is a set of photo-etched elements designed for detailing plastic warship models in 1/350 scale. The product has been created with modelers in mind who want to enhance the realism and precision of their USS Cleveland model.
Scope of the set
High-detail metal photo-etched parts that replace the standard plastic components of the kit
Wooden deck made from natural material, providing an authentic surface appearance
Resin parts supplementing details that are difficult to reproduce in plastic
Materials and craftsmanship
The photo-etched parts are made from thin metal sheet, ensuring high durability and fine detail. The wooden deck is crafted from natural veneers, accurately reflecting the texture and color of the original structure. Additionally, the set includes resin details whose modeling precision significantly exceeds that of standard plastic components.
Assembly instructions
Metal parts should be assembled using cyanoacrylate glue for strong, durable joints. Alternatively, individual parts can be soldered with a soldering iron, enabling high precision and stability in the construction.
Compatibility
This set has been specifically developed for 1/350 scale USS Cleveland models. It is compatible with the original kit and other detailing elements such as metal gun barrels, track links, metal tow lines, and figures of tank crew available separately.
Painting recommendations
For finishing the USS Cleveland model, we recommend using hobby paints in the following colors:
Gunze Sangyo H307 (Hull Grey)
Gunze Sangyo H12 (Deck Tan) – for the wooden deck
Gunze Sangyo H1 (Black)
Gunze Sangyo H18 (Steel)
Using this color scheme allows for an authentic reproduction of the ship's paint scheme according to historical documentation.
