A set of EDUARD photo-etched parts, dedicated to enhancing plastic aircraft models in 1/72 scale. This precisely manufactured model accessory set has been created for the detailed enhancement of historical aircraft replicas.
Application and Compatibility
This product is designed to enrich the details of the following aircraft model:
Curtiss P-40E Kittyhawk (Academy plastic kits in 1/72 scale)
The photo-etched parts are designed as direct replacements for their plastic counterparts, significantly increasing the level of realism and detail reproduction in the model.
Technical Features and Material
The set consists of high-quality metal photo-etched parts, characterized by exceptional manufacturing precision. Photo-etching technology allows for the reproduction of extremely fine elements that are impossible to achieve with standard plastic moldings. This enhances the model's authenticity and visual appeal.
Assembly Instructions
For permanent attachment of metal photo-etched parts, the use of cyanoacrylate glues (CA) is recommended. An alternative bonding method is precise soldering, which provides a very strong and durable connection.
Detailing Potential
The offered parts are a crucial step towards advanced model detailing. In aircraft modeling, photo-etched parts are often used to recreate cockpit details, control panels, seatbelts, antenna arrays, or small ventilation openings, adding depth and realism to the model.
For enthusiasts seeking further enhancements, the modeling accessories market also offers a range of other detailing elements, such as metal gun barrels, resin wheels, painting masks, or pilot figures, which can complement this set and allow for the creation of a comprehensively refined miniature.
