A set of photo-etched parts in 1:48 scale for the model of the Fairey Fulmar Mk.I carrier-based fighter.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Fairey Fulmar was a British two-seat carrier-based fighter of the Fleet Air Arm in World War II. It was powered by a Rolls-Royce Merlin V12 engine and carried eight 7.7 mm machine guns in the wings. The second man in the cockpit worked the radio and navigated, which counted for more over the sea than agility; the Fulmar therefore passed for enduring rather than fast. The Mk.I version is the first production form of the type.
This is an etched fret, that is, thin metal parts etched out of sheet, with which the model is filled out with detail that cannot be pressed into plastic. The etching has the thickness of real sheet metal in scale, so the parts look thin even up close. Which particular parts the fret carries and which kit it is drawn for is stated in the manufacturer's instructions.
Cut the parts out of the fret with a sharp blade on a hard surface, not with nippers, or the edge will ripple. Sand the fret tab remnants with a fine file. Make the bends over a straight edge or in a photo-etch bending tool, in one go and along the whole length. Degrease the metal before gluing and glue with a small amount of cyanoacrylate glue. The parts you are going to paint need a primer first, because paint rubs off bare metal easily.
An etched fret is supplied. The kit, paints, primer and glue are not part of the delivery unless stated otherwise.
