Replacement armament details made of turned brass are a great, quick way for improving the look of your model kit.

Those details are precisely machined, having all the same holes, openings and steps as their real life counterparts.

They save modeller a lot of precious time as they don't require cleaning the parts from mould lines and drilling out the barrels of the guns and cannons. They have also right in-scale thickness, which dramatically improves the look of a model kit they are installed in. Details sometimes require assembly from smaller parts - in such case a CA glue is required for assembly. Installing in a model kit is straightforward - just drill holes in proper places of diameter and depth given in the set's instructions, then fix the details using a CA glue. In some cases cutting off the plastic detail we are replacing might be neccessary.

Aber is a Polish manufacturer of turned metal and photoetched brass details for model kits.

Since their founding, Aber has gained a reputation of one of the best and most accurate brands on the modelling market, when it comes to detail-up sets. Their catalogue covers detail sets for virtually any model scale and type. Sets are very well researched and simple ones containing grilles, stowage boxes or fenders can be found as well as very complex sets, with even minute details faithfully recreated. Parts can be joined together by soldering or using a CA-type glue. Aber detail sets are recommended mostly for experienced modellers as their use often involves larger modifications of the kit’s plastic parts.
