Photo-etched parts are one of the most popular upgrades for plastic model kits.

This production technique enables the creation of very small and intricate details that cannot be achieved with injection molding. Photo-etched parts are often used to enhance instrument panels, brackets, mounts, intake grilles, and other features. In short-run kits, they may even be essential. These components usually need to be bent along etched lines to form the correct shape.

They are made from metal alloys – most commonly brass, nickel silver, or steel – and must be assembled using cyanoacrylate glue (“super glue”), as regular plastic adhesives do not bond to metal.
