A photo-etched set in 1:48 scale for detailing a model of the British Vampire FB.5 aircraft. Thin metal parts capture the features injection-molded plastic is too coarse for.
Responsibility details are not available.
The de Havilland Vampire was a British jet fighter from the end of the Second World War and from the first postwar years. It can be told at first glance: a short fuselage nacelle of mixed construction and a pair of tail booms, between which the horizontal tail surface is slung. The FB.5 form is a fighter-bomber intended for attacks on ground targets. It belonged among the most widespread versions of the type and, besides the Royal Air Force, a number of other countries used it as well.
Photo-etched metal parts that complete a plastic kit of the Vampire FB.5 in 1:48 scale. Photo-etched parts hold a sharp edge and a thickness that cannot be achieved in injection-molded plastic, and they therefore suit grilles, harness belts, an instrument panel, levers and other features that are meant to look fine. The exact list of parts and their placement on the model is given in the manufacturer's instructions.
Separate the parts with a sharp blade on a hard surface rather than by breaking them out, because otherwise the thin metal will bend. Run the bends in the marked groove, best of all in a bender or between two rulers. Wash and degrease the metal before painting, because otherwise the paint will not hold on the smooth surface; a thin layer of primer works well. They are glued with super glue or with a two-part epoxy, because cement for polystyrene will not join metal.
The kit of the aircraft, paints and glue are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
