A photo-etched detail set for the 1:72 DAP Beaufort Mk.VIII RAAF model is an accessory to a kit you have already bought, not an aircraft model of its own. The photo-etched parts from the Czech maker Brengun replace coarse plastic features with thin metal parts.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item is not an aircraft kit but an accessory to a model you already have built or under construction. It holds parts in thin etched metal with which the details of the plastic kit of the Beaufort Mk.VIII in Australian configuration, named in the product title, are replaced or completed. The accessory is made by the Czech company Brengun.
Injected plastic has a technologically fixed minimum wall thickness. In 1:72 scale, features such as instrument consoles, seat belts, grilles, brackets and thin bulkheads therefore come out much heavier than reality would allow. Etched sheet solves it a different way: the part is practically without thickness at the scale and it carries sharp detail of a kind that cannot be achieved in a mold for plastic. The cockpit and the external details then do not look coarse when seen from close up.
Separate the parts from the fret with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface rather than with nippers, which bend the metal. Level the remains of the tabs with a needle file. Make the bends in a bending tool or between two razor blades, always toward the etched score line. A thicker part that resists can be annealed briefly over a flame; the material gives and does not crack when bent. Degrease the metal with alcohol before gluing and cover it with a primer, otherwise paint will not hold on the smooth surface. It is bonded with super glue applied with a pin, and on larger areas epoxy helps, as it gives you time to adjust the position of a part.
This is an accessory, not a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
