The Eduard Accessories 73255 reference is a colored photo-etched set designed for the P-38J Lightning in 1/72 scale. This detailing accessory for aircraft scale models is made to complement a plastic kit and refine certain elements with delicate metal parts.

The P-38J Lightning

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning is a US twin-fuselage fighter aircraft, recognizable by its central nacelle and its two rear booms. The P-38J version belongs to the variants used during World War II. Its distinctive silhouette makes it a very popular subject among collections dedicated to American military aviation.

For detailing a P-38J in 1/72 scale

Photo-etching helps to represent exceptionally fine elements that are difficult to reproduce with injected plastic at this scale. The pre-colored parts make it easier to reproduce certain visible details without having to paint them individually.

Working with photo-etch requires careful preparation: separating the parts with a suitable tool, precise bending when needed, and gluing with a compatible glue. Fine tweezers, a modeling knife blade, and a stable work surface are particularly helpful for handling these small parts.
