Photo-etched parts for a model of the Soviet fighter Yak-1b in 1:72 scale. A thin metal fret adds details that plastic cannot carry at this scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Yak-1 was a Soviet single-seat fighter from the Second World War, one of the aircraft that carried Soviet fighter aviation through the war's first years. The Yak-1b version has a lowered rear fuselage and a bubble canopy, which gave the pilot a view to the rear as well. But the lowered rear fuselage has a second consequence for modelers: the cockpit is far more visible than on earlier machines.
Photo-etched parts for the Yak-1b model in 1:72 scale. Being listed under the photo-etched-parts category confirms that this is a thin metal fret from which individual parts are cut and bent to shape. The manufacturer's instructions give the scope of the parts, their placement, and the kit the set is shaped for.
Work over a tray with a raised edge; in 1:72 scale, the parts are so small that a part that bounces away is gone for good. Separate them from the fret with a sharp blade pressed against a hard surface, smooth the fret-mark with a needle file, and handle the part further with tweezers. Make bends along the marked score line, ideally with a photo-etch bending tool. Choose cyanoacrylate glue and dose it with the tip of a needle, since even a small drop will spread beyond such a tiny part. Degrease the metal with alcohol before painting and prime it with a base coat designed for metal, or the finish will rub off during further handling.
The aircraft kit, paints, and glue are not included in the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
