Template Access STEEL

Eduard Template Access STEEL

A general-purpose photo-etched steel template from the Czech maker Eduard, fitted with a set of cutouts in the shape of access panels, hatches and service openings. It serves as a firm guide for accurately scribing and tracing these shapes onto the surface of a model. It is not tied to a single scale: it offers shapes of various sizes usable across the common scales. It is neither a model nor a kit, but a modeling tool for scribing and panel work that a modeler keeps and uses repeatedly on many kits.

Use

• Accurately scribing and tracing the shapes of access panels and hatches on plastic
• The template is laid on the surface and serves as a guide for a scriber or a point
• Also suitable for restoring detail lost after filling and sanding joints
• The steel version is durable and does not deform like a paper guide
• A reusable accessory for adding surface detail

Who it is for

For more advanced modelers who add or restore surface detail themselves, scribing panels, hatches and maintenance openings on aircraft and other models. For clean lines it is recommended to hold the template firmly and to scribe with light repeated strokes rather than one heavy one.

The steel template has fine edges, so handle it carefully, work on a firm surface and keep the tool out of the reach of children.
