Photo-etched ship details – precise elements for ship models

Photo-etched doors are thin brass sheet elements reproducing the characteristic bulkhead doors of Japanese ships. They solve the problem of flat, simplified plastic door representation lacking distinct fittings and profiles.

Adding etched doors increases the realism of the model's superstructures and hull sides. It is a proposal for modellers building Imperial Japanese Navy ship models.

How to use:

The individual parts are cut from the brass fret, and railings are gently bent along the edge of the deck or superstructure to match the shape of the model. The details are attached with cyanoacrylate glue and, once cured, can be painted with modelling paints in the colour of the hull or deck.
