The Eduard 1:48 External Parts for Mil Mi-35M for Zvezda set is a high-precision, specialized photo-etched detail set, dedicated to enhancing the external surfaces of the 1/48 scale Mil Mi-35M combat helicopter model produced by Zvezda. This product is designed for modelers striving for maximum realism and accuracy in their projects.
Product Description
This photo-etched set, created by the renowned manufacturer Eduard, focuses on recreating small, often overlooked or simplified external details of the Mil Mi-35M helicopter. These elements, impossible to faithfully reproduce with plastic injection molding technology, allow for the addition of layers of detail that significantly enhance the authenticity of the finished model. The set includes precisely manufactured components, such as:
Ventilation grilles and air intakes, adding depth to the details.
Antennas and sensors, improving the realism of external equipment.
Handles, hinges, and small fastening elements, recreating fuselage details.
Reinforcing elements and inspection panels, giving the model a more three-dimensional structure.
The use of these elements allows for achieving a level of detail close to the real counterpart, which is crucial for advanced modeling projects.
Key Product Features
Material: High-quality photo-etched metal (most commonly brass or nickel silver), ensuring sharpness, thinness, and accuracy of details.
Scale: Optimized for 1/48 scale models.
Precision Manufacturing: Components are faithful replicas of the original structural details of the Mil Mi-35M.
Enhanced Realism: Allows for a significant increase in the level of detail and authenticity of the model's external appearance.
Scope of Details: The set offers a comprehensive range of external enhancements that transform a basic model into a detailed replica.
Application and Compatibility
The Eduard 1:48 External Parts for Mil Mi-35M set is exclusively designed for use with the 1/48 scale Mil Mi-35M plastic helicopter model produced by Zvezda. Its assembly requires the use of precise modeling tools, such as a hobby knife, tweezers, photo-etch files, and specialized cyanoacrylate (CA) glues, intended for bonding metal to plastic.
The application of metal parts may require delicate shaping or bending, which should be performed with great precision. Once installed, the details should be painted along with the rest of the model to ensure a consistent and aesthetic final result. The product is recommended for modelers experienced with working with photo-etched parts, who are looking to elevate the level of detail in their projects to a professional standard.
