A set of photo-etched parts in 1:72 scale for the F-15J Eagle in the MSIP version. The thin metal items add detail to the model that injection-molded plastic cannot manage in this scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The F-15J is the Japanese version of the American F-15 Eagle heavy fighter. Mitsubishi built it under license for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force, and the machines still form the backbone of the defense of Japanese airspace. The MSIP designation refers to the program of gradual modernization the aircraft went through; it concerned mainly the avionics and the cockpit equipment, so the upgraded machines differ from the original ones in small details that a modeler notices in the pilot's compartment.
It is a set of photo-etched parts in 1:72 scale tied to the F-15J in the MSIP version. Photo-etch is a thin metal sheet from which the individual items are separated and bent to shape. Its advantage is a thickness close to reality: parts that would come out disproportionately heavy in injection-molded plastic look natural here. Which kit the set is cut for and exactly what the sheet contains is stated by the manufacturer in the instructions.
Separate the items with a sharp blade on a hard surface, not by twisting, otherwise the part buckles. Make the bends along the marked grooves, ideally in a photo-etch bender or between the jaws of flat tweezers. Cement for polystyrene does not hold on metal: use a minute amount of cyanoacrylate glue, and a two-part adhesive on larger areas. Degrease the metal before painting and cover it with a primer, otherwise the coat peels off during handling.
It will be appreciated by a modeler who is building the F-15J in 1:72 scale and wants fine detail in a matching thickness. Working with photo-etch calls for tweezers, a sharp blade and calm; try the first bend on an offcut of the sheet. Paints, glue and tools are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
