Etch vents?

[Radleigh]

Hey everyone, quick question. In this photo ( http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/photos/5/3/2/2100235.jpg ) you can see above the engine on the fuselage, a vent is just visible. I'm looking for something like this in etch if possible? I'm not having much luck finding something so hopefully someone can help.

If there is such thing, 72nd scale would be nice!

Thanks, Radleigh.

The panel with the louvers in it? Or are you pointing to something else? There are detail kits out there for HO (and smaller/bigger) trains so you may be able to cobble together something from the choo choo section.

Thinking outloud

Has anyone got any links where to buy train stuff? I can't seem to find any and I need the vents very soon!

Thanks in advance

Hi Radders,

You could try CraftsMan Models. In their catalogue they have various detailing kits for locos including etched grills. I've used them in the past for detailing a Class 31 and their product for that loco was fine.

Here's the link:

How I do it:

method 1:

Tools - rivetter and scriber, material - thin plastic

method 2:

Almost the same, but on foil and needle instead of scriber, unfortunately I don't have any pictures at hand. This method makes it possible to make both embossed and recessed lines

I was thinking of doing smething like that but haven't quite worked it out yet. Decisions!

Not sure if you are still looking for these but found something that may help whilst looking for other things

(I have no vested interest in this company - they are one of 3 Archer suppliers in UK according to Archers own site http://www.archertransfers.com/PAGE_Dealers.html )
