Scale brass detail for the Westland Wyvern S.MK 4

The Westland Wyvern S.MK 4 stands out among post-war naval strike types thanks to its distinctive silhouette. This Trumpeter photo etched set for 1:48 scale provides six frets of etched brass components to bring out finer elements of the airframe and cockpit.

Why use photo etch on a 1:48 Wyvern

Photo etched parts reveal delicate features and sharper textures that are hard to capture in injection-moulded plastic. Builders can use this set to add realistic vents, instrument bezels and small surface fittings for a detailed presentation model.

Fitting advice and presentation tips

Fitting brass parts needs patience and careful handling; cutting, filing and gentle bending are part of the process. When installed and painted carefully, the metal details give the finished model a noticeably crisper and more authentic look.

Specifications

  • Scale: 1:48
  • Photo Etched Parts: 6 frets of etched brass
The parts are tailored for 1:48 Wyvern builds. Compatibility with other manufacturers may vary, so check shapes and dimensions against your specific kit before committing to permanent fixes.
Beginners can try them, but practice on spare material first. The small scale and thin brass demand accurate handling and sometimes specialised adhesives.
Prime the brass with a metal primer, then use thin coats of paint. Masking and careful weathering help integrate the metal pieces with plastic surfaces.
