Photo-etched Remove Before Flight flags in 1:72 in the long variant, pre-painted are a small accessory that on a finished model as well as in a diorama immediately gives away that the machine is standing on the ground.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a photo-etched accessory in 1:72 scale, not a kit. Its contents are flags of the Remove Before Flight type - warning streamers that on a real aircraft are hung on safety pins, intake covers and other places from which they have to be removed before takeoff. According to the name the etched parts are pre-painted, so the laborious painting of the small lettering is done away with. The designation of the long 110 cm variant distinguishes the longer type of flag; in 1:72 scale it is of course a correspondingly reduced part.
Models standing on a base often look static. A couple of red streamers by the landing gear, on the cover of the pitot tube or by the ejection seat gives a scene a story and a legible scale - the viewer recognizes at once that this is an aircraft in ground preparation. It serves equally well in a diorama with vehicles and ground crew.
Cut the parts out with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface, not with scissors - otherwise the etched part will bend. Because the flags are pre-painted, do not anneal them over a flame; you would lose the surface. Shape the natural sag you need carefully with smooth-jawed tweezers over a rounded object. Attach them with a drop of cyanoacrylate glue or with gloss clear, which holds less but leaves no white veil. Go over the cut edge, where bare metal shows, with a brush in a matching shade. Fit the flags at the very end, after the clear coat and the weathering are finished.
The accessory is supplied as a photo-etched sheet. Glue, paints and the base model are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
