This listing is for the Eduard 1:72 Mirage F.1B photo-etched parts set for Special Hobby, designed by the renowned company EDUARD. This is a specialized set intended for precisely detailing 1/72 scale plastic aircraft models, particularly the Mirage F.1B model produced by Special Hobby.
The primary purpose of this product is to increase the level of detail and realism of plastic models. The metal parts have been precisely fitted for specific locations on the Mirage F.1B aircraft models, allowing for a more faithful reproduction of details compared to the standard kit parts.
Product Compatibility:
This set is designed for detailing 1/72 scale Mirage F.1B aircraft models, especially those produced by Special Hobby.
Key Technical Features and Materials:
The set contains high-quality, precisely manufactured photo-etched parts. The material they are made from is thin metal sheet, which provides exceptional detail and realism, impossible to achieve with injection molding technology for plastic parts.
Material: Photo-etched metal.
Detail: They feature high accuracy in reproducing the finest details, such as gauges, control panels, seatbelts, ventilation grilles, or small structural elements.
Replacement: They perfectly replace their less detailed plastic counterparts, significantly improving the final appearance of the model.
Assembly of Parts:
For bonding metal photo-etched parts, it is recommended to use specialized cyanoacrylate glue (also known as CA glue or Super Glue), which provides a fast and durable bond. For advanced modelers, there is also the option of precisely joining the parts by soldering, which further increases the strength and precision of the assembly.
Kit Expansion and Compatibility with Other Accessories:
For a comprehensive detailing of the Mirage F.1B aircraft model, the Eduard photo-etched set can be supplemented with other specialized modeling accessories. To further enhance realism, we encourage you to consider using:
Metal gun barrels or Pitot tubes.
Resin parts improving cockpit, landing gear, or bay details.
Painting masks, facilitating precise painting of the canopy, wheels, or covers.
Pilot miniatures or ground crew figures, which will bring the diorama to life.
Integrating these additional elements allows for the creation of an exceptionally detailed and realistic replica of the Mirage F.1B aircraft.
