Photo Etched parts are indispensable for improving the level of detail on model ships. There is a wide range of products available, including original products from kit manufacturers and third-party products. Some kits are supplied with etched parts. The attraction of these parts is that they can be used to recreate fine details that are difficult to achieve with plastic parts, but it is also true that they are made of metal and require a certain amount of skill to handle. This issue deals with the techniques of using etched parts, from cutting, bending and assembling to painting.
