How many of us who have worked with
photo etch parts have experienced this?
You ever so carefully attempt to separate that tiny little part from the fret
and "plink", there it goes! The next twenty minutes are spent on your
hands and knees trying to reclaim the piece from the jaws of the carpet
monster, and if you're like me muttering under your breath about what a
"fun, relaxing" hobby this is.
The Bf 109E Details set.
This set contains a nice assortment of parts to dress up the interior as well as
provide more accurate scale thickness for items such as landing gear covers. An
acetate sheet with gauge details is also provided to sandwich in between the two
instrument panel parts.
FOTOCUT
products are really nicely
done and really easy to use, they're offered in 1/72, 1/48 and 1/32 scales.
Fred doesn't have a website but a list of us his products is available here:

and ordering information is available at: oletcherfred@yahoo.com
I'd like to thank Fred Hultberg for the review samples and his generous
sponsorship of the Bf 109 Group Build run at ARC last year.
Fred Hultberg of FOTOCUT has come up with a great solution that should make life
easier on those of us who use photo etch details, fretless photo etch parts. The
pieces are mounted on a flexible backing, when you need a part simply peel it
off. No snipping, cutting or trimming rough edges down. Although this review
focuses on Bf 109 parts, Fred provides a full line of parts from WW I aircraft
all the way up to the F-4 if you're not a fan of Luftwaffe stuff.
Check his site for other Bf-109
photo etch items.
