Photo-etched parts are one of the most popular upgrades for plastic model kits.

Their production technology allows extremely small and delicate details that cannot be reproduced using standard injection moulding. They often provide a more realistic alternative for instrument panels, brackets, handles, intake grilles and other fine elements. Photo-etched parts usually require bending along etched lines to achieve the desired shape.

Painting masks help modellers achieve clean and precise paintwork.

They protect transparent parts such as canopies, lights and other clear elements from paint during airbrushing. Masks are precisely pre-cut to match specific model parts and greatly simplify the painting process.
