A photo-etched detail set for a model of the Lockheed Martin F-16C Block 42 fighter in the form up to 2005, 1:48 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The F-16C is a single-engine multirole combat aircraft and was built in several production blocks that differ from one another in equipment and in small features on the surface. Block 42 is one of them, and the set is aimed at its form up to 2005, that is, before the later changes of equipment. The small cockpit and the densely equipped interior are, on this type, among the places where photo-etched parts show most.
These are photo-etched parts, that is, thin metal items worked out by chemical etching. They are held in a carrier fret on thin tabs and the modeler cuts them out one by one. The thickness of photo-etch matches the scale better than a plastic part, which is why it is used where the material is to look thin or finely divided.
Cut the parts off with a sharp blade on a hard surface, not with scissors, or they will twist. Make the bends on the edge of a steel rule or in a bending tool and make them in one go, as repeated bending fatigues the metal. They are bonded with cyanoacrylate glue; polystyrene cement does not hold here. Before painting, wash and degrease the surface and apply a primer, as paint flakes off bare metal. Dry-fit the parts first; at the cockpit the plastic surface under the photo-etch usually has to be thinned.
The kit, paints and glue are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise. The extent of the set and the kit it is meant for are given by the manufacturer on the box.
