Brass for the Roden SE.5A?

buzz1941 · 3 November 2006, 01:08 PM

Does the Roden SE.5 need any etched brass? Applies to the 1/48 kit, but likely also to the upcoming 1/32 kit. One thing that comes to mind are the triangular inspection panels.... anything else needed? Suggestions please.

Hey Buzz1941; I have the same 1/48 Part of Poland set and have been working on it as a stand alone item for a diorama. In 1/32 scale you could probably do some tie-in clamp facades for the fuselage skeletals at least for the cockpit area. If you have the Datafile Special on the type, the colour photos will help you see what I mean. Instrument bezels should be separate items. That is, not in reliefs on the instrument panel. Just my opinion.
