Eduard FE1394 - 1:48 Sea King HAS.1

Photoetched details set for a model kit of a Sea King HAS.1 helicopter in scale 1/48.

Detail set recommended for a model kit made by Airfix.

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.
