A conversion set with the aerial array of the FuG 217J-1 radar in 1:32 scale, prepared for the Hasegawa, Revell and Eduard kits.
Responsibility details are not available.
The FuG 217 was a German airborne radar used in the closing stages of the Second World War. It served to find a target at night and in poor visibility, and its most conspicuous external feature was an array of thin rod aerials projecting from the airframe. It is exactly these aerials that give a model of a night fighter its characteristic silhouette, which plastic kits usually only simplify or leave out altogether.
This conversion set in 1:32 scale adds the FuG 217J-1 aerial array to the model. It is prepared for the kits of three manufacturers at once, Hasegawa, Revell and Eduard, so compare the instructions with the kit you have at home before building. The manufacturer's instructions enclosed with the set describe the range of parts and where each one goes.
The aerials are long and thin, so take them out of the packaging carefully and put them down on a soft surface where they cannot roll away or bend. Pre-drill the mounting holes with a fine drill; the part then sits square and you do not have to hold its position with glue. Cut the surplus material away with a sharp blade a little clear of the part and sand the surface. Wash and degrease the parts before painting. It pays to paint the aerials only after they are fitted, so that the surface does not suffer from handling.
The set belongs in the hands of a modeler who is up for fine and fragile work and wants a faithful aerial array on a model of a night fighter. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
