Photoetch detail set
Posted by arivera_12 on Tuesday, February 5, 2008 6:47 PM

Hi Everyone,

I have the 1/48 trumpeter Coast Guard HH-65A helicopter model and wanted to try my hand at adding photetched detail to a model. I normally do 1/72 aircraft which are pretty small but with the 1/48 kit i think it would be big enough to do a good job.

 My question is where do I get a photoetched detail set and do I need any special tools.

 Thanks

Eduard makes a PE set for the Trumpeter1/48 HH-65 Dolphin. #48455 HH-65A

All you'll need is a sharp pair of scissors, and some super glue.

You'll also want to get the Cobra Company Resin Interior conversion and Fireball Modelworks Decals.

Fireball also has a resin conversion to make a USCG HH-65C model, which includes the corrected tail rotor assembly.

Fireball also has a corrected main rotor blade set.

Unfortunately, Cobra Company has temporarily suspended operations at present, so the interior set (which is phenomenal!) is unavailable right now.  Hopefully they'll be back up and running soon.
