3D-printed Brassin parts – detail unattainable in plastic

Brassin is Eduard's line of accessories made by direct 3D printing (and in some sets resin casting). The technology delivers very fine, three-dimensional detail and smooth surfaces, replacing selected parts of the base kit.

Parts are separated from the print supports and attached with cyanoacrylate glue. Given the nature of the material, it is worth working carefully and protecting the finest elements.

About the aircraft – Curtiss P-40 Warhawk:

The Curtiss P-40 Warhawk is an American World War II fighter powered by an inline Allison engine. The P-40K, built in 1942, received the more powerful Allison V-1710-73 and a strengthened structure; some aircraft had a lengthened fuselage for better directional stability.

The P-40 became famous in the colours of the 'Flying Tigers' (AVG) in China and fought on many fronts – from the Pacific to North Africa and the Eastern Front. Though outclassed at high altitude, it was rugged and effective at low and medium levels.

• Length: approx. 9.7 m
• Wingspan: approx. 11.4 m
• Powerplant: Allison V-1710-73 inline engine, approx. 1,325 hp
• Maximum speed: approx. 580 km/h
