Flyhawk 1:700 WWII RN Searchlights I is a detail accessory set of miniature searchlights for models of Royal Navy ships from the period of the Second World War. It is not a kit of a ship but an accessory to an existing model.
Responsibility details are not available.
This detail set from the manufacturer Flyhawk is intended for modelers who want to replace the simplified plastic searchlights on a model of a British warship in 1:700 scale with a finer rendering. The package contains only the accessory parts themselves, with no model, glue or paints. The designation in the name refers to the first set in a range devoted to the lighting equipment of Royal Navy ships.
Signal and search lights were ordinary equipment on warships. They sat on mast platforms, on superstructures and at the sides of funnels, that is, in places that are easy to see on a finished model. It is precisely these small elements that in injection-molded plastic in 1:700 scale are only hinted at, so exchanging them for separate fine parts is among the most visible improvements of a whole build. The set also suits a diorama scene, where a model is complemented by a harbor or deck setting.
The parts are very small, so prepare pointed tweezers, a sharp scalpel and a light surface from which a small part will not disappear. First sand the original plastic searchlight away and level the area. They are glued in spots with cyanoacrylate glue, ideally the gel version, which gives a few seconds to fine-tune the position. Apply the base coat in a thin layer, so that the detail is not flooded. The body of a searchlight is usually painted in the shade of the ship and the lens can be indicated with a drop of gloss varnish or silver paint.
This is an accessory set. The model, glue and paints are not included in the package.
