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 – Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9:

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190D-9, nicknamed 'Dora' or 'Langnase' (long nose), is one of the most successful German variants of the Fw 190 fighter from the late war period. The radial engine was replaced by a liquid-cooled inline Junkers Jumo 213A with an elongated cowling and annular radiator, improving high-altitude performance.

The D-9 entered service in 1944 and was used against Allied bombers and to protect Me 262 jets during the vulnerable take-off and landing phases.
