Eduard 53291 - 1:350 USS Alaska CB-1 part 3

Set of photoetched details for a model kit of a USS Alaska CB-1 cruiser in scale 1/350.

Detail set recommended for a model kit made by Hobby Boss.

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.
