Fine Brass Details for Your Akagi Model

The Hasegawa 72127 accessory provides a comprehensive fret of photo-etched brass parts tailored for the 1/350 IJN Aircraft Carrier Akagi. These components are aimed at enhancing visible fittings and surface detail so your model benefits from sharper, truer-to-scale features. Best used by builders familiar with bending and attaching etched parts to plastic kits.

Can I bend these parts without special jigs?

Small bends are possible with fine pliers and a flat surface, but a simple photo-etch folding tool gives cleaner, repeatable bends for tiny railings and brackets.

How do I attach brass parts to plastic?

Use a thin cyanoacrylate (superglue) or epoxy for a secure bond. Apply glue sparingly and consider using a tiny dab of accelerator to speed cure on delicate joins.

Should I prime the etches before painting?

Yes. A light coat of metal primer helps paint adhesion and prevents uneven coverage on the brass surface, making final painting much easier.

Is this suitable for display dioramas?

Absolutely. The added fine detail from Hasegawa 72127 improves realism for display stands and diorama scenes where close-up inspection is expected.
