Refine Your Akagi with Delicate Etched Brass

The Hasegawa 72127 kit offers a tidy fret of photo-etched brass parts made for the 1/350 IJN Aircraft Carrier Akagi, allowing modellers to add crisp, scale-accurate fittings across the deck and superstructure. These parts are most useful when you need thinner profiles than plastic can provide, and they help lift the overall authenticity of a finished model. Best approached by those familiar with photo-etch techniques and careful assembly.

Scale: 1/350
Material: Photo-etched brass
Assembly Type: Requires advanced modeling skills
Paint and decals: Not included

Is this kit aimed at beginners or experienced modellers?

The Hasegawa 72127 set is best suited to experienced modellers, since photo-etched brass requires careful cutting, bending and precise gluing to fit correctly.

How do I prepare the brass before painting?

Clean the parts to remove oils, apply a suitable metal primer and then build up thin coats of paint. A light wash or preshading can enhance the fine detail.

Are replacement frets available if I damage a piece?

Availability varies by supplier. If a fret is damaged, contact your retailer or check specialist parts sellers for the exact Hasegawa 72127 fret or compatible alternatives.

What scale results should I expect visually?

At 1/350 scale the etched brass gives noticeably thinner railings and clearer rigging points compared with injection-moulded plastic, improving close-up realism on display pieces.
