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

Their manufacturing technology allows for extremely fine and delicate details that cannot be achieved with standard injection molding. They are commonly used to replace instrument panels, brackets, handles, grilles, and other small components. In short-run kits, they can often be essential parts of the build. These elements usually require careful bending along pre-etched lines to achieve the desired shape.

Painting masks are accessories that make airbrushing scale models easier.

They protect transparent parts such as canopies or lights, and sometimes wheel hubs, from unwanted paint. Masks are precisely pre-cut to match specific kit parts, and the compatible model is always indicated on the packaging. It is worth checking whether the masks cover the entire surface or if additional masking fluid is required. Eduard masks are made from yellow self-adhesive masking paper.
