A universal photo-etched set of details for First World War aircraft in 1:72 scale is an accessory to a kit, not a model. It serves to add small fittings to period biplanes.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item is not a kit but a photo-etched accessory meant to be added to plastic models. Unlike sets cut for one particular type, this is a universal set of small parts that suit period biplanes in general. A modeler picks from the fret what their kit is missing and puts the rest in reserve for the next build. The accessory is made by Brengun of the Czech Republic.
Aircraft of that period had structures of wood, steel and fabric with a great deal of small fittings on the surface. Injected plastic manages those features only in heavily simplified form, because in 1:72 scale they are thinner than can be cast. Photo-etched metal a few tenths of a millimeter thick is therefore the natural substitute and looks right for the scale on a model.
Cut the parts out with a scalpel on a hard surface rather than breaking them out, or they will warp. Make the bends in a bending tool or between rulers, and score sharp edges first with the blunt side of a knife. Degrease the metal with alcohol before gluing and bond with super glue applied with a toothpick, so that the excess does not run into the surroundings. Apply a primer coat before painting. Because this is a universal set, test the placement dry and only then glue.
This is an accessory for a model. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
