The Eduard 1:72 F-16A / B Fighting Falcon photo-etched set is a precision modeling accessory created by the renowned EDUARD company. This product is designed to enhance plastic model kits of aircraft in 1/72 scale, with a particular focus on the Italeri F-16A Fighting Falcon and F-16B Fighting Falcon kits.
Application and Compatibility
The primary purpose of this product is to elevate the level of detail and realism of plastic models. The photo-etched parts serve as an excellent enhancement or direct replacement for less detailed plastic molded parts. This set is specifically designed to perfectly fit the following kits:
F-16A Fighting Falcon 1/72 (Italeri)
F-16B Fighting Falcon 1/72 (Italeri)
Key Technical Features and Materials
The offered photo-etched parts are made of metal, which guarantees their durability and the ability to reproduce fine details unattainable with plastic injection molding technology. They feature:
High Detail: Precise reproduction of panels, ventilation openings, cockpits, and other small structural elements.
Durability: The metal material is more resistant to damage than delicate plastic parts.
Replaceability: These parts are designed as direct replacements for their plastic counterparts, which facilitates assembly and integration with the base model kit.
Assembly and Additional Accessories
For attaching the metal photo-etched parts to the model and to each other, specialized cyanoacrylate glues are recommended, ensuring a strong and durable bond. Alternatively, for advanced modelers, it is also possible to join metal parts using a soldering iron, which allows for exceptionally solid and aesthetic joints.
For a comprehensive enhancement of your F-16 model, we encourage you to explore our wide range of other detailing accessories, such as precision metal barrels, realistic individual link tracks (if applicable to other models), metal tow cables, or pilot and ground crew miniatures, which can further enhance your diorama or display.
