1:72 Sukhoi Su-35S is a full photo-etched detail set from the manufacturer Eduard: a fret of photo-etched brass parts for refining a kit, not a stand-alone model of the aircraft.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item is an add-on set of photo-etched parts in 1:72 scale from the Czech brand Eduard, not a kit of an aircraft. A full photo-etched set is the most extensive of the manufacturer's photo-etched ranges: while the lighter Zoom range aims only at a selected group of pre-painted interior parts, a full fret tends to be more extensive and reaches beyond the cockpit as well. The point of the set is to replace the simplified plastic shapes on a finished model with thin metal parts.
Injection-molded plastic has a technological minimum wall thickness, so bulkheads, grilles, sheet-metal panels or restraint elements come out coarser in a small scale than reality would suggest. Photo-etched brass sheet is an order thinner and has sharp edges, which tells in 1:72 scale above all where an edge is seen against the light. The subject, the modern twin-engine Sukhoi Su-35S fighter aircraft, has a quantity of small access panels and grilles where this difference is clearly apparent.
Separate the parts from the fret with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface, never by twisting. Before gluing, degrease the brass with alcohol or acetone, as otherwise neither paint nor glue will hold. Make the folds in a bending tool or between two razor blades, so that the edge comes out straight and sharp. Thin cyanoacrylate applied with a pin suits the gluing; modeling cement for plastic does not work on metal. Unpainted metal parts have to be given a base coat before painting.
This is an accessory for a build, not a stand-alone model. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
