The Eduard BRASSIN PRINT 1:48 REFUELING PROBE set features precisely crafted resin parts, designed to enhance plastic model kits of aircraft in 1/48 scale. This product was created by the renowned company EDUARD for modelers who strive for the highest level of realism in their projects.
The primary purpose of this set is to upgrade the details of the in-flight refueling probe, specifically for the F-4B Phantom II model kit from Tamiya. The resin parts from the BRASSIN PRINT series boast unparalleled detail, far exceeding their plastic counterparts, thanks to the application of advanced computer-aided design and 3D printing techniques.
Key Features and BRASSIN PRINT Technology
Material: High-quality photopolymer resin, 3D printed.
Unmatched Detail: Thanks to CAD design and precise 3D printing, the parts feature details impossible to achieve with traditional resin casting methods, offering a level of replication incomparable to classic resin casting techniques.
Realistic Reproduction: The refueling probe is a faithful reproduction of the original component, significantly enhancing the authenticity of the model, especially in larger scales.
Easy Integration: The resin parts are designed as direct replacements for plastic parts, making their installation straightforward.
Kit Contents
The package includes a set of 3D-printed resin parts, specifically designed for building the refueling probe. Depending on the configuration and accompanying preview images, the set may also include precisely crafted photo-etched parts, which further enhance the details as shown in the preview images.
Compatibility and Application
The REFUELING PROBE set in 1/48 scale is dedicated to the following models:
F-4B Phantom II (especially recommended for the Tamiya model kit)
The resin parts are an ideal complement to the basic model kit, allowing for the creation of a more detailed and realistic replica. Integration with other aftermarket enhancement parts, such as photo-etched (metal) parts, turned metal barrels, tracks, or miniatures, is fully possible, enabling a comprehensive model build.
Assembly Tips
For bonding resin parts and metal parts (if present), the use of cyanoacrylate (CA) glue is recommended.
Metal parts can also be joined together using a soldering iron for increased strength.
Exercise particular caution during the processing and assembly of resin parts, as they are particularly susceptible to mechanical damage.
