About product

Photo-etched detail set for the Grumman TBF-1 Avenger, 1:48 scale, Eduard

This is a set of fine etched brass parts for sharpening a plastic model of the Grumman TBF-1 Avenger in 1:48 scale. It is not a kit or an aircraft model but an accessory that replaces and completes detail which is hard to mold in plastic — fine panels, grilles, loops, cockpit elements and other small equipment. The set is meant for more experienced modelers who want to lift a model above out-of-the-box level.

The real subject

The Grumman TBF-1 Avenger was an American carrier torpedo bomber of the Second World War. The rugged three-seat machine with its dorsal gun turret and a roomy bomb bay was powered by a Wright radial engine. It had its baptism of fire at Midway and became the main carrier torpedo aircraft of the US Navy.

Tips for working with photo-etched parts

Separate the parts carefully from the fret with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface and bend them along the marked lines, ideally in a photo-etch bending tool. They are bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate), and on larger surfaces a two-part adhesive helps. Color and instrument parts are usually self-adhesive. The work calls for tweezers, patience and a steady hand, which is why the set is best suited to advanced modelers.

Who the set is for

  • For advanced modelers building the TBF-1 Avenger
  • For anyone who wants more faithful detail than plastic gives
  • For builds that concentrate on the cockpit and the outer surfaces
  • For collectors who want to take a model all the way in detail

Supplied as an etched set for finishing a plastic model, unpainted. It is not an aircraft model; the plastic kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is a photo-etched detail set with which you sharpen a plastic TBF-1 Avenger model already under way. Neither the model nor the plastic parts are included in the package.

Working with etched metal takes experience — the tiny parts are separated with a scalpel, bent along the lines and bonded with super glue. It is better suited to more advanced modelers.

It is designed for plastic TBF-1 Avenger models in 1:48 scale. It is worth checking the compatibility with your particular kit beforehand.

Bare brass parts are degreased and painted before varnishing; the color and instrument elements are usually self-adhesive and need no painting.
