The Eduard 1:72 TSR 2 for Airfix photo-etched parts set is a specialized modeling product designed for advanced detailing of plastic aircraft models in 1/72 scale. This precisely crafted set allows for increasing the level of detail and realism of the miniature, by replacing or supplementing standard kit parts.
Main Application and Compatibility
This product is intended for detailed enhancement of TSR 2 aircraft models, especially those produced by Airfix in 1/72 scale. Its main purpose is to enrich the model with details that are difficult or impossible to achieve with injection molding technology. The photo-etched parts allow for accurate reproduction of fine structures, such as control panels, cockpit seatbelts, landing gear details, or other subtle external and internal aircraft components.
Key Features and Materials
The package contains a set of high-quality photo-etched parts, made of metal, as shown in the preview images. Key product features include:
Scale: Perfectly matched to 1/72 scale, guaranteeing proportionality and authentic reproduction.
Detail Level: Exceptionally high level of detail reproduction, significantly exceeding the capabilities of plastic counterparts.
Compatibility: Designed specifically for TSR 2 models, with particular emphasis on Airfix kits.
Assembly and Modeling Techniques
Assembly of photo-etched parts requires precision and the use of appropriate tools. For durable bonding of metal parts, cyanoacrylate (CA) glue is recommended, as it provides a strong and fast bond. For more experienced modelers, it is also possible to join the parts using soldering, which offers even greater strength and aesthetic joins. The metal parts are suitable for painting with standard hobby paints, allowing for full integration with the rest of the model.
Further Enhancement
The Eduard 1:72 TSR 2 for Airfix set provides an excellent starting point for comprehensive model enhancement. For modelers interested in further improving their miniature, other modeling accessories are available on the market, such as resin parts, metal gun barrels, or specialized painting masks, which allow for achieving the highest level of realism. Combined use of these elements allows for the creation of a unique and highly detailed aircraft replica.
