Photo-etched parts for a model of the A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft in 1:72 scale. Metal thickness pushes the detail where a plastic part in a small scale cannot reach.
Responsibility details are not available.
The A-10 Thunderbolt II is an American attack aircraft nicknamed the Warthog, built literally around a seven-barrel 30 mm rotary cannon. The pilot sits in an armored tub, the engines hang high on the sides of the rear fuselage and there are two tails. The aircraft was designed to take a hit and get home, and its angular, purposeful shape matches that.
Photo-etched metal parts worked in 1:72 scale for the A-10. In this scale the difference between plastic and photo-etching shows most: parts that on the real aircraft are as thin as sheet metal inevitably come out thicker in plastic, whereas etched metal has a thickness matching reality. The extent of the set and the kit it is cut for are given in the maker's instructions.
Work over a tray or a light surface; parts in this scale are small and once dropped on a carpet they are hunted in vain. Separate them with a sharp blade on a hard surface and level the remaining tab with fine sandpaper. Make the bends along the scored line over the edge of a ruler or in a bender, holding the part with tweezers. They are bonded with super glue applied in a minute quantity. Before painting, degrease the metal and spray a base coat.
The model kit, paints, glue and tools are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
