Covers & hinges

Eduard Covers and hinges - a scribing and panel line template

Covers and hinges is a photo-etched metal template by Eduard intended for scribing and panel lines on plastic models. It is not a model or a detail set for a particular machine but an aid (a tool) that helps to mark out the shapes of various covers, hatches and hinges accurately and repeatably. The template is laid on the surface of the model and serves as a guide for a scribing tool.

Use

• Lay the template on the surface of the model and fix it so that it does not move.
• Guide the scribing tool along the cutouts and create clean outlines of covers, hatches and hinges.
• Suitable for restoring and adding panel lines after filling and sanding joints.
• Usable across scales and types of model wherever a uniform shape of engraved detail is needed.

Who it is for

For modelers who want accurate and repeatable panel lines and scribing without relying on a free hand. Builders of aircraft and vehicles who add to or restore surface detail will appreciate it.

Work carefully, as the metal template has sharp edges. Guide the scribing tool away from your body and protect your hands.
