White Ensign Models 1/350 Royal Navy Cable Reels Photoetch Enhancement Parts

The White Ensign models Photoetch add-ons makes your model ship museum quality.

This is similar to Gold Medal Models Gold Medal Models 1/350 Assorted Cable Reels but White Ensign Models (WEM) includes more details for a more realistic model.

This set is relevant USN, IJN, RN, and KM designs. Relief-etched in 3-D for extra detail.

General instructions:

  • Do not remove the etched parts from the fret until you are ready to use them.
  • Before assembly, soak the etched parts in a suitable solvent, such as white spirit, to de-grease the surfaces for painting.
  • Cyanoacrylate adhesive (super glue) or contact adhesive such as Elmers white glue may be used. These can be applied with a pin or piece of stretched sprue.
  • When removing parts from the fret, place the fret on a hard surface, such as a smooth ceramic tile, in order to prevent parts bending whilst cutting through the holding
    tabs. We suggest using a #11 type of modelling knife blade for this purpose.
  • When shaping or bending a part, a straight-edged blade such as a chisel blade #17 or # 18 will give a good sharp corner, or alternatively a small pair of smooth-jawed
    pliers may be used.
  • If a part is bent incorrectly, lay it on a hard flat surface and roll it flat with a cylindrical object such as a modelling knife handle.

Accordingly, we suggest you purchase our Photoetch Bender Tools for easy assembly.
