About product

1:700 PLA Navy Type 051C Destroyer Detail-up Set: a Tetra Model Works photo-etched set

A set of photo-etched metal parts in 1:700 scale for detailing a plastic kit of the Chinese guided missile destroyer Type 051C. You will not find a hull or a superstructure in the package: the set serves to have the coarser plastic parts of the finished model replaced by thin metal ones, which match the real thickness of the structures on deck better.

The real subject

The Type 051C is a Chinese guided missile destroyer that arose as an interim solution: a long-range surface-to-air missile system of Soviet, or rather Russian, origin was placed on a hull derived from an older domestic design. A conspicuous recognition feature is the large rotating radar above the rear superstructure, which differs at first glance from the flat panels of the newer Chinese ships. Only two units were built, so it is a fairly rare silhouette that you will recognize at once in any collection of modern destroyers.

Tips for working with photo-etched parts

Cut the sheets of etching with a sharp scalpel right at the tab that holds a part, and do it on a hard surface: breaking them out with your fingers bends the part. Make the bends in a bending tool or between two rules. They are bonded with super glue applied in a tiny amount; any excess goes white and floods the fine detail. Before painting, degrease the metal and spray it with primer. Fit small upright parts such as masts and antennas at the very end, so that they are not in the way during further handling of the model and do not get bent.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of ships in 1:700 scale who want to take a model into detail
  • Those interested in contemporary Asian warships
  • Modelers preparing a model for a display case or a competition
  • More experienced builders used to working with fine metal parts

FAQ

No. The package contains photo-etched metal parts; you obtain the plastic model of the destroyer separately.

At the very least a sharp scalpel, a hard surface, tweezers with fine points and super glue. A photo-etch bending tool makes the work markedly easier.

First degrease the metal, spray it with primer and only then paint. Without primer the paint rubs off a smooth surface during handling.

Yes, and mainly on the thin structures. In 1:700 scale the plastic version of such parts always looks heavier than the real thing.
