1:48 Handles and levers

Handles and levers 1:48 (Firma49)

A set of small resin parts, handles (grab handles) and control levers in 1:48 scale. It is an aftermarket accessory for superdetailing, not a kit. The finely shaped parts replace coarser features from the box and sharpen up the look of hatches and control positions. The maker is Firma49.

What it is for

Handles and levers are small but very visible features which affect the overall impression a finished model makes. The resin form is as a rule thinner and sharper than injection-molded plastic, so once painted it looks more convincing.

Usage tips

• Wash the mold release residue off the parts in lukewarm soapy water.
• Cut the small sprue gate remnants off with a sharp knife and handle them carefully: the parts are fragile.
• Glue them with a super glue (cyanoacrylate).
• Sand wet and with protection for your breathing.

Who it is for

• Modelers superdetailing models in 1:48.
• Builders who want to replace coarser parts from the box with finer ones.

It comes unpainted as a resin accessory. The paints, the glue and the basic model are not included in the package.
