{"product_id":"metal-photo-etch-detail-parts-gunpla","title":"Metal Photo-Etch Detail Parts For Gunpla","description":"\u003cp\u003eEtched metal sheets carrying hundreds of ready made detail parts for Gunpla and mecha kits. Each fret holds rows of tiny discs, vents, hatches and panels in graduated sizes, from 1.5 mm up to 6 mm, that you cut free with a hobby knife and fit into the recesses moulded into the armour.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is the fastest way to turn a flat panel into something that reads as machinery. A decal sits on top of the surface and can silver or lift; an etched part sits down inside the recess and catches the light like the metal fitting it imitates.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSix patterns to choose from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMX049 through MX054, each a different mix of shapes and sizes. MX049 is built around circular details, ringed and slotted discs in graduated diameters. MX052 works in squares and rectangles. MX054 packs 219 individual pieces across eleven sizes, from 1.5 mm to 6 mm. Pick the one that suits your build, or take the set of six and mix them across a single model so no two panels repeat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to use them\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut the part free from the fret with a sharp blade, working on a hard surface rather than a cutting mat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLift it with fine tweezers and test fit it in the recess before committing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFix it with a drop of thin cyanoacrylate or UV resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaint before or after fitting, depending on whether you want the bare metal to show\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWorks with\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHG, RG, MG and PG Gunpla, at any scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMecha and sci fi kits, plastic or resin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScratch built panels and custom armour\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAny model with moulded recesses waiting to be filled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEtched metal, not stickers: the parts are cut and glued, not peeled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFine tweezers and a fresh blade make the job far easier\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe fret is consumed as you use it, so a busy build may need more than one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor unit markings and numbering on the same build, see our \u003ca href=\"\/en-efta\/products\/gundam-gm-eff-number-and-icon-stencil\"\u003eGundam GM EFF number and icon stencil\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hobbyist Haven","offers":[{"title":"MX049","offer_id":39771055325286,"sku":"HH-GUNDAMMETA-02680-01","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":true},{"title":"MX050","offer_id":39771055358054,"sku":"HH-GUNDAMMETA-02681-02","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":true},{"title":"MX051","offer_id":39771055390822,"sku":"HH-GUNDAMMETA-02682-03","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":true},{"title":"MX052","offer_id":39771055423590,"sku":"HH-GUNDAMMETA-02683-04","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":true},{"title":"MX053","offer_id":39771055456358,"sku":"HH-GUNDAMMETA-02684-05","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":true},{"title":"MX054","offer_id":39771055489126,"sku":"HH-GUNDAMMETA-02685-06","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":true},{"title":"All 6 Patterns (Best Value)","offer_id":39771055521894,"sku":"HH-GUNDAMMETA-02686-07","price":8500.0,"currency_code":"ISK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1374\/4527\/files\/gundam-metal-parts-stencil-hobbyisthaven-771.webp?v=1772813413","url":"https:\/\/hobbyisthaven.com\/en-efta\/products\/metal-photo-etch-detail-parts-gunpla","provider":"HobbyistHaven","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
