Photo etched parts or PE ,are metal parts that you can add to your model to replace the kit parts that are not to scale or just to add a bit more of a real look to kit to put it simply.It

is up to the modeler if they add it or not , although I personally would not recommend a person starting out in hobby to use them until they think they are able to tackle them as they a quite fiddly sometime.There

are some pieces on a etch set that I will use and some that I will just stand ten feet away from

Thanks for the explanation Shayne. I always thought you were supposed to make the kit that came inside the box as real as possible just by using the parts that came with it, I didnt know there were things sold elsewhere that one could use to do this. Shows how new I am to the hobby.
