They add depth and detail to the model, which is especially important for experienced modelers striving for historical accuracy.
The materials used in production ensure durability and ease of handling, allowing for precise bending and assembly. Additionally, these thin elements significantly improve the final appearance compared to bulkier parts made from plastic.
