Eduard 644184 - 1:48 Tornado IDS LööK

Resin instrument panel and photoetched seatbelts detail set for a model kit of a Tornado IDS aircraft in scale 1/48.

Recommended for a model kit made by Eduard / Revell.

Details made from resin are made to enrich the look of a model kit - they can be either cast or 3D printed.

They enable to recreate much more and much finer details than it is possible with injection moulding. Thanks to the ease and low cost of manufacturing, resin can also be used in correction sets that replace wrongly designed plastic parts. Resin parts are also used to represent additional parts of a model which might result in need of cutting away and reworking of the plastic model surface. In case of short-run model kits resin parts might be an integral part of the set.

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.
