Tamiya 1/48 Sherman

What do you mean by photo etch? Did you have to apply "add-ons" to the model or is all of that "extra detail" custom made?

Photo-etch is ultra high detail kits, made of brass i think, and they come in flat form which you then have to assemble using special forming tools.

They are usually kits from a small select number of manufacturers, the amount of detail can be quite awesome, but they can also be kit bashes too if you have the skill and the materials.

Everything i've learnt these last few months has been on this modelling website, these guys are ultra helpful and i fully recommend anyone into modelling giving them a visit......its my favourite site by far.
