About product

What photo-etch brings

A photo-etched fret is a thin metal sheet with an etched relief. The parts are separated from it, shaped and glued onto the model. Metal keeps its shape even at a thickness injected plastic cannot reach, which is why photo-etch is used where a plastic part is inevitably bulkier than the real thing: on seat belts, grab handles, consoles, grilles and areas with fine relief. The extent of this set and the order of assembly are given in the manufacturer's instructions.

The real subject

The Hawker Hurricane Mk.I is a British single-seat fighter of the early part of the Second World War. Its fuselage was built on a frame of tubes with a covering, which was already an older method of construction at the time, but easy to repair under field conditions. In the Battle of Britain the Hurricanes made up the more numerous part of the fighter force than the Spitfires and are credited with more machines shot down, even though the glory went to their faster counterpart.

Working with photo-etch in a small scale

  • separate the part with a sharp blade on a hard mat; tearing it off twists it irreparably
  • work with fine-tipped tweezers, as the features are small in this scale
  • make the bend at the scored line, over the edge of a bending tool or a blade
  • glue with super glue in minute amounts, as excess turns white on metal
  • degrease the metal before painting and use a primer, or the coat will rub off

FAQ

A photo-etched fret for the Hurricane Mk.I in 1:72 scale. What exactly it contains is set out in the manufacturer's instructions. The model, the paints and the glue are not included, unless stated otherwise.

In 1:72 scale the features really are small, so fine tweezers, a sharp blade and calm working conditions all help. The procedure itself is not complicated, it just calls for patience.

Super glue in minute amounts. Cement for plastic has no effect on metal, and excess super glue turns white on metal.

The kit is named on the package. Even so, always test the parts dry before gluing.
