Photo-Etched Detailing Sets

Photo-Etched Model Ship Detailing Sets

Add fine metal details to scale vessels with Photo-Etched Detailing Sets from MegaHobby. Photo-etched parts can reproduce thin, delicate components that are difficult to represent at scale with conventional molded plastic, making them a popular aftermarket option for detailed ship projects.

Railings, ladders, platforms, screens and other fine structures can have a major visual impact on a finished ship. Photo-etched components allow these areas to be represented with thinner profiles and sharper detail where appropriate for the model.

Working With Photo-Etched Parts

Photo-etched components can be extremely small and delicate. Parts may need to be carefully removed from their fret, shaped and positioned before installation.

Browse Photo-Etch Tools for specialized equipment useful when working with etched-metal parts. Holding and Gripping Tools and Magnifiers can also help with fine-scale assembly.

Paint & Finish Photo-Etched Details

Once installed and appropriately prepared, photo-etched components can be integrated into the overall finish of the vessel. Visit the Paint Store for primers, model paints and finishing products.

Weathering can help visually blend aftermarket components with the surrounding model. Explore Weathering Products for rust, grime, fading and other maritime effects.
