Aber Photo-Etched Mesh 0.8 x 0.5 mm

This is a universal photo-etched accessory, not a kit. Aber, the Polish maker of photo-etched parts, supplies a thin brass sheet with a regular mesh of 0.8 x 0.5 mm aperture size. The small elongated apertures make a very fine structure.

What the mesh is for

A photo-etched brass mesh replaces coarsely molded plastic grilles with an accurate metal part. The fine pattern suits small radiator grilles, fine protective screens, speakers and the filter areas of small parts. The material is thin, holds its shape and is easy to cut to size.

Usage tips

Cut the part out with sharp photo-etch shears or break it off the sheet, and degrease the area beforehand. Glue the mesh with super glue (cyanoacrylate) or with a two-part adhesive; apply a metal primer before painting.

Who it is for

• modelers who want to replace plastic grilles with accurate metal
• for models of military vehicles, ships and aircraft in various scales
• for fine superdetailing of small areas

The accessory is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and other materials are not included in the package.
