About product

RA-5C Vigilante Photo-Etched Set 1:48 (Eduard)

This photo-etched set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard brings fine metal parts, most often in brass, for raising the fidelity of a model of the American carrier-based North American RA-5C Vigilante reconnaissance aircraft in 1:48 scale. It is not an airplane model but a detail accessory for advanced modelers. The photo-etched parts replace or complete items of the plastic kit and add detail that cannot be molded into injected plastic, for example instrument panels, seat belts and small items of interior and exterior.

The real subject

The North American RA-5C Vigilante was a large American twin-engine carrier-based navy aircraft. It originated as a heavy supersonic strike aircraft and was later rebuilt into a high-performance reconnaissance machine with extensive sensor equipment. Thanks to its high speed and size it ranked among the most striking aircraft ever to operate from the deck of a carrier.

Tips for working with photo-etched parts

Separate the parts with a sharp knife and make the bends on a photo-etch bender or over a metal ruler. Bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate); plastic cement has no effect. Working with small parts calls for patience and tweezers.

Who the set is for

  • Advanced modelers who want to raise the detail of a model
  • Builders for whom the parts from the plastic box are not enough
  • Anyone interested in working with photo-etched parts and fine metal items
  • Collectors building models for contests and display cases

The set is supplied as photo-etched parts, unassembled and unpainted. It is not an airplane model but an accessory for a plastic kit. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. It is a photo-etched set of metal parts, an accessory that raises the detail of your plastic RA-5C Vigilante kit.

Super glue (cyanoacrylate). Ordinary plastic cement does not hold on metal.

Not really. Bending and gluing small photo-etched parts takes experience, so the set is better suited to more advanced modelers.
