1:72 Japanese Army Aircraft Equipments Detail Up Etching Parts A

Photo-etched equipment of Japanese Army aircraft, set A 1:72 (Hasegawa)

A photo-etched (brass) set of detail parts for refining the equipment of Japanese Army aircraft in 1:72 scale, the A standard. This is not an aircraft kit but a universal detail accessory that adds fine elements of equipment beyond the reach of injection-molded plastic. The maker of the set is Hasegawa.

What the set contains

• Photo-etched parts of Japanese Army aviation equipment
• Fine elements matching 1:72 scale
• Fitting instructions

Use and fitting

Nip the photo-etched parts out of the fret carefully and bend them on a photo-etch bender where needed. Glue them with cyanoacrylate in small drops. Fit the parts as the build goes along, following the instructions, and the fine elements ideally before the final varnish. Working with tweezers and a magnifier is advisable.

Who the set is for

• Modelers building Japanese Army aircraft in 1:72 scale
• Anyone after fine etched detail instead of plastic castings
• Advanced modelers used to working with photo-etch

The set is supplied unpainted; paints, glue and a kit are not included in the package.
