A photo-etched accessory for a model of the Dornier Do 335A aircraft in 1:48 scale. It replaces the parts that cannot be made thin enough in plastic.
Responsibility details are not available.
The Dornier Do 335 is a German fighter aircraft of the end of the Second World War and among propeller-driven machines it is one of the structural oddities. It had two engines in tandem: one in the nose with a tractor propeller and a second behind the cockpit, which drove a pusher propeller at the end of the fuselage. Because of the rear propeller it received a cruciform tail with a lower vertical surface under the fuselage. The set is carried for the Do 335A version in 1:48 scale.
Photo-etch is thin metal sheet with the drawing etched into it. Parts made from it look noticeably more convincing in scale than plastic ones, because their thickness is close to the real subject, whereas injection-molded plastic has to be substantially thicker for the sake of manufacture. Which kit the set is cut for does not follow from the name, so check in the manufacturer's instructions before the build which model and which parts it is intended for.
The parts are held on the fret by fine tabs. Cut them off with a sharp blade on a hard surface, never break them out, as a bent place is hard to straighten. Make the bends over a sharp edge or in a bending tool, so that they are straight along their whole length. They are glued with super glue or with a two-part adhesive; cement for plastic will not hold on metal. Before painting, degrease the parts and apply a primer, without which paint easily rubs off smooth metal.
The kit, paints and glue are not part of the delivery, unless stated otherwise.
