A set of photo-etched parts for the A6M5 Zero aircraft model in 1/48 scale.

Set recommended for a kit made by Fine Molds.

Brass photo-etched parts are one of the most popular additions to unassembled plastic model kits.

The technology of their production makes it possible to obtain very small and delicate details, unattainable with injection molding technique. Most often, they are a much better-looking alternative to instrument panels, hooks, hangers, mounts, air intake cover grids, etc. For models produced with short run technology, they can be an essential part of the kit. Photo-etched parts most often require bending them according to etched lines to achieve the desired shape.

Eduard is a Czech manufacturer of unassembled plastic model kits for model airplanes in all the most popular scales, whose quality, detail and correctness place it among the world's leading plastic model manufacturers.
