1:48 TIE-DOWN STAR kit (for fixing airplanes on the deck)

Deck tie-down points TIE-DOWN STAR 1:48

This is not an airplane model but a fine resin (3D-printed) accessory for building dioramas and display scenes. The set holds star-shaped tie-down anchors recessed into the deck, to which aircraft are lashed with chains and turnbuckles in real service. In 1:48 scale they give a carrier deck a faithful, fully fledged detail.

Use

• Adding fine tie-down points to a carrier deck or a ground parking area.
• Realistic anchoring of a parked aircraft into a scene with chains and turnbuckles.
• Suitable for dioramas and for stand-alone display bases.

Usage tips

• First wash the print resin residue off the parts and let them dry.
• Separate them carefully from the print supports and clean the surfaces up.
• Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate).
• Wear respiratory protection while sanding.

Who it is for

• Builders of dioramas and deck scenes.
• Modelers who want to make the presentation of an aircraft more realistic.

The accessory is supplied as a resin part, unpainted. Glue, paints and the base model are not included in the package.
