About product

Photo-etched set for the A-4C Skyhawk model in 1:48 scale

A set of photo-etched metal parts for a model of the A-4C Skyhawk carrier attack aircraft in 1:48 scale. The thin, finely detailed sheet replaces the places where injection-molded plastic is necessarily thicker than the subject would call for.

The real subject

The Skyhawk was designed in the middle of the 1950s as the smallest and lightest possible carrier attack aircraft. The small span meant that the wing did not have to fold, so the machine stayed simple and light. The A-4C version followed on from the earlier A-4B and carried equipment for use in poor visibility, among other things a radar in a lengthened nose. The type stayed in service for decades and became one of the most widespread carrier attack aircraft of its day.

How to work with photo-etch

  • Cut the parts out of the fret with a sharp blade on a hard surface and do not tear them off.
  • Make the bends over a steel rule or in a bender, always along the marked line.
  • It is glued with a minute amount of cyanoacrylate glue, because cement for plastic does not hold on metal.
  • Wash and degrease the metal before painting, otherwise the paint cracks 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 modelers who are building the Skyhawk in 1:48 scale and want to take it beyond the contents of the box. Working with photo-etch calls for tweezers, a sharp blade and patience, but the result is a fineness that a plastic part cannot match.

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