About product

The real subject

The A-4B is an early version of the American carrier-based Skyhawk attack aircraft. The aircraft came about as a deliberately small and simple machine: it was so compact that it managed without folding wings, which is rarely seen on a carrier aircraft. That is exactly why every extra detail shows on a model, whether it is the cockpit, the landing gear bays or small covers on the fuselage.

What the set contains

A set of photo-etched metal parts. Etched metal is made by etching thin sheet, so the parts have a thickness that cannot be achieved by casting and they carry fine detail. The breakdown of the elements and their placement on the model is given in the manufacturer's instructions; which kit the set is tuned to is also given in the instructions, so compare the parts with the model you are building before the build.

Building and painting tips

The elements are joined to the fret by thin tabs. Cut through them with a sharp blade on a hard surface; do not tear them or twist them, otherwise the part will be deformed. Make the bends over a straight edge, ideally in a bending tool. They are glued with a really small amount of cyanoacrylate glue; cement for polystyrene will not join metal. Degrease the surfaces before painting and spray them with a base color, otherwise the layer rubs off during handling.

The particular kit is given on the packaging and in the manufacturer's instructions. So compare the parts with your model before the build, because kits of the same type differ in their breakdown.

With a small amount of cyanoacrylate glue. Cement for polystyrene will not join metal, and it is a good idea to degrease the surface beforehand.

Working with etched metal calls for a sharp blade, tweezers and a steady hand. Anyone starting out should try the procedure on the larger parts first and fit the fine elements dry.
