About product

Photo-etch for the superstructure of USS Sangamon CVE-26 in 1:350 scale

A set of photo-etched metal parts concentrating purely on the island, that is the command superstructure of the escort carrier. Eduard makes its photo-etch in Obrnice near Most and its ship line is among its most extensive. Alongside this set a separate photo-etch for the rest of the vessel also exists, so a modeler can choose how far to go in detailing.

The real subject

USS Sangamon carried the hull designation CVE-26 and became the lead ship of the escort carrier class of the same name. It came about by conversion from a fleet oiler, which its more slender hull and smaller superstructure against ordinary aircraft carriers match. It was used during the Second World War both in the Atlantic and in the Pacific, where it carried out mainly escort and support tasks.

How photo-etch is worked

Cut the parts from the fret with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface, not with scissors, as the edge would otherwise ripple. Make the bends over a metal rule or in a bender, always along the marked score line. They are glued with super glue applied with the tip of a wire, or soldered with low-melting-point solder paste. The metal is smooth, so a primer for metal belongs on it, otherwise the finish flakes off during handling.

Who the set suits

  • Builders of ship models in 1:350 scale
  • Modelers bothered by the exaggerated thickness of plastic railings and ladders
  • Those interested in American escort carriers of the Second World War
  • Those who want to detail step by step and start with the superstructure

The set is an accessory for a ship model; no vessel can be built from it on its own.

FAQ

No, the contents are photo-etch for the superstructure. For the decks, railings and other parts of the hull the manufacturer issues a separate item.

Thin super glue applied in a minimal amount is the most reliable. Advanced modelers also use soldering with low-melting-point solder.

It is recommended. The metal is smooth and without a primer for metal surfaces the paint rubs off easily during further handling of the model.
