About product

Top Studio 1:20 to 1:24 Shock Absorber Set 3

A detailing set from the Japanese brand Top Studio aimed at the shock absorbers of the suspension. The range of scales from 1:20 to 1:24 given in the name means that the parts are designed to suit models of both the usual automobile scales in size. The numeral in the name tells the individual variants of this range apart. The set is not a model of a car; it is a replacement for the parts of the base kit.

Why it pays to change the shock absorbers: a shock absorber is a structurally complex part with a visible shaft, spring and mounting. Injection-molded plastic manages it only in a simplified way, usually as a single piece with a suggested spring. A replacement from a detailing set divides this assembly into genuinely separate elements, so that even under a hood or in the exposed suspension of a single-seater it looks more faithful.

What the set is for

It is fitted while building the suspension, that is, right at the opening stage of the chassis build and before the body is closed up. On formula cars the result is visible directly, while on closed cars it tells mainly on models built with the hood open or on a diorama with the car raised.

Installation and painting tips

First check the overall length of the shock absorber dry, as it determines the ride height of the car, and if you change it the model will sit differently. Degrease the metal and resin elements and give them a base color. Paint the spring separately from the body of the shock absorber, as the result is then far more legible. Bond with super glue in a minimal amount applied with the tip of a wire.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of automobile models in 1:20 and 1:24 scale
  • Modelers who build a car with the suspension exposed or the hood open
  • More experienced builders used to small parts
  • Those who want to raise the level of the chassis without rebuilding the whole model

This is not a kit of a model. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

The parts are designed in size to suit models in 1:20 as well as 1:24 scale. It is not information about two different sets in one package.

It tells the individual variants of this manufacturer's shock absorber range apart. It is not the number of pieces.

A particular target kit is not given in the name. Before the build, compare the length of the shock absorber with the original part, because it determines the ride height of the car.

While building the suspension, that is, right at the beginning of the chassis and definitely before the body is closed up.
