About product

A photo-etched set for a model of the A-4B Skyhawk in 1:48 scale

A set of photo-etched metal parts for a model of the carrier attack aircraft A-4B Skyhawk in 1:48 scale. Photo-etched metal is a thin metal sheet with the parts etched into it, so it allows elements to be made in a thickness for which injected plastic is too coarse.

The real subject

The Skyhawk came about in the middle of the nineteen fifties as a deliberately small and light carrier attack aircraft. Its low weight and small span allowed it to do without folding wings, which saved space on deck as well as the weight of the structure. The A-4B version belongs to the early production, and machines of this type flew with the US Navy and the Marine Corps for a very long time, and with other users for longer still. Among modelers the aircraft has the reputation of a small machine with a densely occupied surface.

How to work with photo-etched parts

  • Cut the parts out of the fret with a sharp blade on a hard surface; do not tear them off.
  • Take the bends over a metal ruler or in a photo-etch bender, always along the marked line.
  • It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue in a minute amount, as cement for plastic does not hold on metal.
  • Wash and degrease the metal before painting, or the paint will crack on the smooth surface.
  • The order of the steps and the placement of the individual parts are given in the manufacturer's instructions.

Who the set is for

For builders of aircraft models in 1:48 scale who want to take a model of the Skyhawk beyond the level of the box contents and are not afraid of working with small metal parts. Tweezers, a sharp blade and a steady hand come in useful.

The package holds photo-etched parts only. The kit, paints and glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.
