About product

Photo-etched ladder for the RA-5C Vigilante in 1:72 scale

This accessory set from the Czech brand Brengun contains an etched metal ladder to the cockpit of the RA-5C Vigilante reconnaissance aircraft. It is not an aircraft model in its own right but a detail that will certainly not be lost on this massive machine - the Vigilante's cockpit sat high above the deck and the crew could not get into their tandem cockpits without a ladder. Thin etched metal makes it possible to render the rungs and the side rails with a fineness injection-molded plastic cannot reach.

The real subject

The North American RA-5C Vigilante came about by converting the supersonic carrier-based A-5 bomber into a fast reconnaissance machine. In a ventral canoe and modified compartments it carried cameras and other reconnaissance equipment, and over Vietnam it was among the fastest and at the same time the most dangerous machines of the US Navy - it flew low, fast and often alone. It lasted with the fleet until the end of the 1970s. The elegant, long fuselage with its high-set cockpit makes the Vigilante an imposing model.

Tips for working with photo-etched parts

Separate the parts from the fret with a sharp knife on a hard surface and make the bends with tweezers or a bender along the lines marked. Glue with super glue in small amounts. Before painting, degrease the etch and apply a primer coat so that the final paint holds well.

Who the accessory is for

  • Builders of dioramas from the carrier decks of the Vietnam era.
  • Modelers who want to display a Vigilante as a living scene with an open cockpit.
  • Anyone with basic experience of etched parts.

This is an accessory set, not an aircraft model in its own right. It is supplied unassembled and unpainted; glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

Yes, even a model displayed on its own with a ladder in place and an open cockpit looks far more alive.

Super glue (cyanoacrylate) in small amounts; cement for polystyrene will not join metal.

Degrease it and apply a primer coat - paint holds badly on bare metal.
