Eduard FE1507 - 1:48 F4F-4

A set of photo-etched parts for the F4F-4 aircraft model in 1/48 scale.

Set recommended for a kit made by Academy.

Brass photo-etched parts are one of the most popular additions to unassembled plastic model kits.

The technology of their production makes it possible to obtain very small and delicate details, unattainable with injection molding techniques. Most often, they are a much better-looking alternative to instrument panels, hooks, hangers, mounts, air intake cover 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 plastic model manufacturers.

Originally best known for producing photo-etched (and later also resin) add-ons 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. "Profipack" kits include, in addition to the model, accessories and masks for painting and are aimed at modelers with experience in the hobby. "Weekend" kits are plastic model without add-ons and are aimed at beginner modelers.
