About product

What the set contains

The set brings photo-etched parts for a model of the AH-64D helicopter in 1:48 scale. A photo-etched fret is thin metal sheet with an etched shape, thanks to which it can replace the parts that cannot be made in plastic at the right thickness: grilles, loops, clips, belt buckles or thin strips. Which particular parts of the machine the set covers and which kit it is cut for are given in the instructions of the manufacturer.

How to work with photo-etched parts

Separate the parts with a sharp blade on a hard backing, not by twisting; otherwise the sheet is deformed and the bend will never come out straight again. Sand the remaining stub left by the bridge with a fine file or a sanding sponge. Make the bends in a photo-etch bending tool, or between the jaws of flat pliers, always along the etched score. Photo-etched parts are not glued with cement for plastic models; cyanoacrylate glue or solder holds them.

Building and painting tips

Before painting, wash and degrease the metal, or the paint will not hold on the smooth surface and will flake when handled. A thin coat of primer helps. Do not glue the small parts with your fingers but with tweezers over a tray with a raised edge, so that a part that springs away does not vanish from the bench. Work in stages and let the glue dry thoroughly each time. Dose cyanoacrylate glue in a minute amount, best of all with a pin from a drop set aside on a piece of plastic; any excess is hard to remove from metal and fills the etched detail in.

Terms of supply

The model of the helicopter, paints, glue and tools are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is not, unless stated otherwise. This is a supplementary set for a kit you have already bought.

Cyanoacrylate glue, or solder. Cement for plastic models does not hold on metal.

Along the etched score, best of all in a photo-etch bending tool or between the jaws of flat pliers. The bend then comes out crisp and in one plane.

For modelers with experience of fine work. Working with photo-etched parts calls for tweezers, a sharp blade and patience.
