Eduard FE1484 - 1:48 P-39N

A set of photo-etched parts for a 1/48 scale model of the P-39N aircraft.

Set recommended for a kit made by Arma Hobby company.

Photoetched elements made of brass sheet are one of the most popular additions to unassembled plastic model kits.

Their production technology makes it possible to obtain very small and delicate details, unattainable with injection molding technology. Most often, they are a much better-looking alternative to instrument panels, catches, hangers, mounts, air intake grids, etc. For models produced with short run technology, they can be an essential part of the kit. Photo-etched parts most often require bending them according to etched lines to achieve the desired shape.

Eduard is a Czech manufacturer of unassembled plastic model kits for model airplanes in all the most popular scales, whose quality, detail and correctness place it among the world's leading manufacturers of plastic models.

Initially, it was best known for its production of photo-etched (and later resin) additives for plastic models, in which it is still the undisputed leader. Eduard's models consist of a considerable number of parts with a very good fit and a very high degree of detailing. The "Profipack" kits include, in addition to the model, extras and masks for painting and are aimed at modelers with experience in the hobby. "Weekend" kits are plastic model without extras and are aimed at beginner modelers.
