Details etched in a brass sheet are the most popular detail sets for model kits.

Manufacturing technique enables creating very fine and intricate details impossible to recreate with injection moulding. They are mostly a better looking alternative for the instrument panels, hinges, clamps, clasps, mesh grilles etc. In case of short-run model kits they might be an integral part of the set. Photoetched parts need bending them along the etched lines to give them their final shape.

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.
