About product

Photo-Etched Rudder Pedals for Curtiss Aircraft in 1:72 Scale

A small metal accessory for the cockpit that replaces plastic pedals or adds them to a model where the kit lacks them. It is neither an instrument panel nor a decal; they are photo-etched parts that are cut from the fret, bent if need be and glued into the cockpit floor.

What the set solves

Rudder pedals in 1:72 scale are on the limit of what can be injected into a mold. In kits they therefore tend to be either thick and simplified in shape, or missing altogether. Yet they are parts you see right under the instrument panel in an open or well-glazed cockpit. Photo-etched metal is thin in a proportion that plastic cannot manage, so the result looks correct for the scale.

Procedure

Separate the parts from the fret with a sharp knife on a hard surface, not with scissors, which twist the metal. File the fret tab remnant away with a fine file. If a part needs a bend, use a photo-etch bending tool or two straight tweezer jaws and bend in one movement; repeated bending breaks the metal. Degrease, apply a primer suitable for metal and paint according to the interior of the aircraft in question. They are glued with cyanoacrylate in the tiniest drop applied with a toothpick. Fit everything before you close the cockpit.

Who it is for

  • Builders of Curtiss aircraft in 1:72 scale
  • Modelers who complete a cockpit with photo-etched parts and have experience of working them
  • Those who build a model with an open or clearly visible cockpit

The accessory is supplied on its own, without a kit, paints and glue.

FAQ

The name gives only the maker of the real subject, not a particular type. Before building, therefore, compare the shape of the part with your model.

Photo-etched parts are supplied in bare metal and are painted once in the model. Use a primer suitable for metal, otherwise the paint will not hold on the smooth surface.

Working with photo-etch calls for a sharp knife, tweezers and patience. For a first attempt at metal accessories, small pedals are rather demanding.

Cyanoacrylate in the tiniest drop, or a special glue for photo-etch. Plastic cement has no effect on metal.
