Responsibility details are not available.
This item is not a kit of a vehicle or of figures. It is an accessory for modelers and diorama builders: a photo-etched brass fret from which L-shaped sections, that is, angle irons, are taken out and bent. It serves as building material in 1:35 scale; out of the sections you build lattice structures, girders, bridge features, racks, masts, the fencing of workshops or ruined industrial halls. The manufacturer is the Polish firm Aber, which specializes in photo-etched and turned metal accessories.
Plastic sections deform in small scales and their edges look soft. Photo-etched brass holds both a thin wall and a sharp edge, so a structure looks like real steel even after painting. The sections can be shortened, layered, given imitation rivets and combined with other photo-etched parts. The typical use is a battlefield scene in industrial surroundings, a railway station, a repair workshop or a damaged bridge, where the ratio of material thickness to 1:35 scale has to stay right.
Separate the parts with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface rather than by twisting, so that the section does not deform. Bend them in a photo-etch bending tool or between two blades. Join brass with cyanoacrylate glue; on larger structures soldering with tin is stronger. Degrease the photo-etched parts before painting and lay down a primer meant for metal, otherwise paint will not hold on smooth brass. Rust and flaking paint come out well with the hairspray technique, and pigments and oil washes at the end give dust and traces of damp.
The accessory is supplied as a photo-etched brass fret, unpainted. A base kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
