• Precise photo-etched brass production, based on both primary source technical documentation and careful interpretation of the photographic record.
• Brass parts with forming jigs for accurate assembly where needed.
• Also includes fins, fin jigs, and templates to make accurate R/P rounds and heads from either existing kit/aftermarket parts or basic scratchbuilding supplies.
• Four 8.5 x 11in. pages of documentation with photographs, period technical documentation outtakes, finishing notes, and clear scale illustrations.**
*Both parts make-up and detail representation are handled differently in each scale due to practical size and final assembly limitations.
**High resolution b&w supplied in the package. Home-printable colour PDF versions available via email after purchase.
