Refine small-scale detail on your F-14A Tomcat

The Tamiya 12693 Detail Up Parts Set brings photo-etched metal components to a 1/48 F-14A Tomcat build, helping to capture the aircraft's angular features and mechanical complexity. These parts are intended to lift the realism of cockpit interiors, landing gear and other exposed fittings.

Model appeal and historical context

The F-14A earned recognition for its naval service and distinctive engineering. For modellers, the combination of an iconic subject and high-detail accessories makes for an engaging project that highlights small-scale craftsmanship.

Why Choose Tamiya's Detail Up Parts?

  • Material: Photo-etched metal
  • Compatibility: Designed for Tamiya 61122 F-14A Tomcat kit
  • Assembly: Requires cutting and fitting

Do I need experience with photo-etch to use this set?

Some prior practice is useful. Photo-etched pieces are thin and require careful bending and attachment, so try a few test pieces before fitting to the model.

What adhesives are best for these metal parts?

CA (superglue) is commonly used for bonding etched parts to plastic. Use sparingly and position components precisely; cyanoacrylate accelerators can help but are optional.

Should I paint parts before fitting?

Light primer or base coats on photo-etched parts can improve adhesion and final finish. Consider masking attachment points and fitting trial to avoid paint buildup that affects fit.

How does this set improve the 61122 kit?

The etched parts add finer surface definition and small fittings that are difficult to replicate in plastic, making the completed 61122 kit look more convincing at close view.
