About product

Photo-etched set for the USS Sangamon in 1:350 scale

This set from the Czech maker Eduard holds photo-etched parts of thin sheet for a model of the escort carrier USS Sangamon in 1:350 scale. It is not a model of the ship but an accessory to a kit you have already bought. Etching can replace the elements that injection-molded plastic necessarily simplifies, because it cannot be molded thin enough. On ship models these are typically the railings, the gratings, the platforms, the deck fittings and the small structural details of the superstructures.

The real subject

The USS Sangamon belonged to the escort carriers converted from the hulls of naval tankers. This group of vessels arose from the urgent need to add aircraft carriers quickly and cheaply. They were not enough for full task forces in either speed or capacity, but they proved themselves covering landings and protecting convoys. The Sangamon took part in the landings in North Africa and later in the operations in the Pacific, where the escort carriers bore the main burden of supporting the ground forces during the advance across the island chains.

Tips for working with photo-etched parts

Separate the parts with a sharp knife on a hard surface, not by twisting. Make the bends in a bending tool or between two blades, so that the edge stays straight. Photo-etch is glued with cyanoacrylate in drops applied on the tip of a toothpick. Fit the railings only after the deck has been painted, and once they are glued on spray them thinly, so that the openings do not fill in. Line the finished parts up against the plastic part beforehand, dry and without glue.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of a model of an escort carrier in 1:350 scale
  • Modelers who want to replace coarsely rendered plastic elements
  • Anyone interested in the US Navy of the Second World War
  • Builders with experience of bending and gluing photo-etch

FAQ

It is not. It is a photo-etched set, that is an accessory to a model which you buy separately.

Typically the railings, the gratings, the platforms and the small deck fittings. The exact contents of this package are listed on the packaging of the set.

Cyanoacrylate applied in minute drops. Cement for polystyrene will not join metal photo-etch.

Working with photo-etch calls for patience, a sharp knife and preferably a bending tool. For a first attempt it is better to start with a simpler set.
