1:350 US Navy Railing

Eduard 1:350 US Navy Railing (photo-etched railings)

This set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard contains fine photo-etched railings matching the ships of the US Navy. It is not a ship kit but a universal accessory that replaces coarse plastic railings, or railings missing altogether, with thin metal items of an accurate scale thickness. Railings are among the most conspicuous details that turn a ship model into a realistic replica.

Use

• They fit the decks and the superstructures with a fine multi-row railing all round.
• The universal length of the strips makes it possible to cover extensive areas of deck.
• Intended for models of US Navy ships in 1:350 scale.
• The parts are separated with a sharp knife, bent to a right angle and glued with a tiny drop of cyanoacrylate glue.

Who the set is for

• Ship modelers who want to replace coarse plastic railings.
• Collectors who are building a diorama or a display replica.
• More experienced builders used to working with long photo-etched strips.

The accessory contains neither the model nor glue. Once the railings are glued on, it is a good idea to spray them in the color of the deck.
