About product

Photo-etched set for the P-51D in 1:72 scale

A set of photo-etched parts intended to refine a model of the P-51D Mustang fighter in 1:72 scale. Photo-etch is a thin metal sheet with an etched pattern, thanks to which the elements have a thickness close to reality where injection-molded plastic necessarily stays coarser. Typically these are the parts that are hard to mold in plastic on a model: grilles, loops, levers, buckles and the small faces of instruments.

The real subject

The P-51D Mustang was an American fighter of the end of the Second World War and one of the best-known designs of its day. The D version received a teardrop canopy with a view in every direction and heavier armament in the wings. It was powered by the V12 Merlin engine, built under license in the USA, thanks to which the aircraft kept its performance at high altitude and could escort bomber formations all the way to the target. In 1:72 scale it is a popular subject and fine metal detail shows to advantage on it.

How to work with photo-etch

  • cut the parts from the fret with a sharp blade on a hard surface, do not snap them off
  • make the bends over a straight edge or in a bending tool; metal is bent in one go
  • it is bonded with super glue, and on larger surfaces it helps to apply it only in drops
  • degrease the sheet before painting, otherwise the primer will not hold reliably

Who the set is for

For a modeler who can already handle small parts and wants to take a model beyond the level of a straight-from-the-box build. Working with photo-etch calls for tweezers, a sharp knife and a steady hand, but the reward is visible at first glance. The set is cut for a particular kit, so compare the parts with your model before building and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

What is supplied is a set of photo-etched parts. The model, paints and glue are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

A thin metal sheet with an etched pattern. It makes it possible to produce parts as thin as they could never be in plastic, so grilles, loops and levers look convincing on a model.

With super glue applied in drops. Solvent cement for plastic will not join metal. Degrease the surface before gluing and hold the part with tweezers until the glue sets.

The set is intended for P-51D models in 1:72 scale; before building, compare the parts with your own model and follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Rather not. The parts are very small and have to be bent, so tweezers, a sharp knife and patience all help. Anyone who has already built from instructions without trouble will manage it.
