Assembly and Recommendations
Assembly of photo-etched parts is straightforward and requires standard modeling tools. For joining metal parts to the model and to each other, we recommend using:
Cyanoacrylate Glue (CA): Essential for durable bonding of photo-etched parts to the plastic model and other metal parts.
Soldering Iron (Optional): For more advanced work and to achieve exceptionally strong bonds, metal parts can be soldered together.
For a complete detailing experience, we invite you to explore our wide range of modeling accessories, such as other photo-etched sets, resin parts, painting masks for canopies and camouflage, metal gun barrels, and decals, which will complement your project.
