Metallic Details 1:144 Sukhoi Superjet 100 is a photo-etched detail set for a plastic model of the Superjet 100 regional airliner in 1:144 scale. It is not a kit, but an accessory for an existing model.
Responsibility details are not available.
A set of photo-etched parts intended for refining a plastic model of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 in 1:144 scale. Metal sheet makes it possible to keep the true thinness of elements that an injection mold cannot produce, so once finished the model stands up to a close look and to macro photography. The set is an accessory for a finished kit and the base model is not part of it.
The Superjet 100 is a twin-engined regional airliner of Russian production, brought into service at the end of the first decade of this century. It has a low-set wing, engines hung on pylons under the wing and a capacity in the category of around a hundred passengers. It is a fairly modern machine with a smooth surface, on which fine exterior details and cleanly done paintwork stand out.
Photo-etched sheet is thin and malleable, so it is worked differently from plastic. Separate the parts with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface and then level the remains of the tabs with a fine file or a sanding sponge, because a tab that has not been cleaned up shows once varnish is on. Make the bends along the pressed grooves, ideally in a photo-etch bending tool or between two blades, so that the edge is straight and sharp. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) in a minimal amount; with larger areas the gel version helps, because it leaves a few seconds for positioning the part. Degrease the sheet and spray it with a primer before painting, otherwise the paint holds badly on the smooth metal.
This is an add-on set for a plastic model, not a standalone kit. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
