About product

Aber photo-etched letters and numerals, 1.5 mm high

The set holds finely etched brass letters and numerals of a uniform height of 1.5 mm, arranged on a common fret. These are neither decals nor stickers - they are real raised characters that are nipped off the fret and glued onto the model. Thanks to that, the marking has real thickness, casts a shadow and, once painted, looks like cast or riveted text rather than like print. They are made by the Polish firm Aber, which specializes in photo-etched accessories for plastic models. The set is not tied to one scale - what decides is how large a marking you need on your model.

Use

  • Separate the character carefully from the fret with a sharp knife or with nippers for photo-etched parts, on a hard support.
  • Level off what is left of the tab as needed with a fine file or sandpaper.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) applied in the smallest amount - a pin or a toothpick proves itself.
  • Lay the characters out along a lightly marked guideline, otherwise the marking easily runs away into a curve.
  • Degrease the brass before painting so that the paint holds.

Where it is useful

On maker's and type plates, vehicle numbers, labels of instruments and controls, markings on crates, signs and directional markings in dioramas, but also on the nameplates of ships and the designations of machines. A height of 1.5 mm corresponds in 1:35 scale to a marking roughly 5 cm high, which is a typical size for more prominent markings.

Who it is for

For more advanced modelers and diorama builders who work with tweezers and fine photo-etched parts. The work calls for patience and good lighting, but the result belongs among the details that everyone notices.

Very small parts - keep out of the reach of children under three, there is a risk of swallowing. The etched edges are sharp. Cyanoacrylate glue is irritating and bonds skin, so use it carefully and ventilate.

FAQ

They are not. These are photo-etched brass characters with real thickness, glued on one at a time. That is why they cast a shadow and look raised.

The set is not tied to one scale. What decides is the height of the character against the model - 1.5 mm corresponds in 1:35 scale to a marking about 5 cm high.

With cyanoacrylate glue, that is super glue, applied in a really minimal amount. Ordinary cement for plastic will not hold on brass.

The maker does not publish exact counts of the individual letters and numerals. Sets of this kind tend to be laid out so that several shorter markings can be put together.
