Photo-etched 1:400 railing for stairs at a 45 degree rise from the Polish firm Aber. It is an accessory for ship models, not a kit.
Responsibility details are not available.
Photo-etched metal railing for ship models in 1:400 scale, shaped for sloping stairs and walkways with a 45 degree rise. It is not a kit of a ship. It is an accessory with which coarse plastic railing on a model is replaced, or with which railing is added where there is none. The maker is the Polish firm Aber, which has been making photo-etched parts for modelers since the nineties.
Railing is everywhere on a ship, and in small scales it decides whether a model looks like a ship or like a toy. Injection-molded plastic can only render it as an unnaturally thick grille, whereas photo-etched parts have stanchions measured in tenths of a millimeter. The horizontal runs are covered by the basic set of the line, but on stairs and walkways the railing has to slope, and it is this piece that has vertical stanchions and sloping handrails, so it sits on stairs without twisting. The sister parts of the same line are straight railing, ship ladders and versions after German and Japanese ships of World War II. The same railing also exists in 1:200 scale, so check the scale of your model before ordering.
Cut the parts off with a scalpel on a hard surface; never break them off. They are glued with cyanoacrylate in drops applied with a pin or a piece of wire. A base coat is necessary before painting, ideally sprayed, so that the grille does not fill in. Apply the paint thinly, because a heavy coat visually thickens the railing.
This is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The basic kit, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
