1:35 Fluorescent Light Set (4pcs)

Fluorescent light fittings, 4 pieces, 1:35 (Ginger Cat)

A set of four printed resin fluorescent light fittings in 1:35 scale from the Turkish brand Ginger Cat. With this set the manufacturer highlights the rendering of the body of the fitting and the reflector. It makes them by high-resolution resin printing. The box gives the count of four pieces. These are accessories for a scene, not a kit; paints and glue are not included in the package.

What it is suited to

A fluorescent fitting under the ceiling is the detail that is easily forgotten when an interior is built, and yet it is exactly what turns a space into a workplace. The manufacturer recommends the fittings for workshops, garages, aircraft hangars, stores and other industrial, commercial and military spaces. In a diorama it is worth hanging them above a vehicle under repair, because the horizontal body of the fitting visually roofs the scene and keeps the eye inside it.

Usage tips

First wash the printed resin parts in warm soapy water so that the print residue disappears from the surface and the paint will hold. Cut off the supports with a saw or a cutting disc, never with nippers, which will break the resin. The manufacturer recommends applying a base before painting. Glue the parts with cyanoacrylate glue or epoxy, as cement for plastic will not hold here. A dark wash into the recesses and a drybrush on the edges will draw out the detail. Wear a respirator while sanding.

Who the set is for

• builders of dioramas and vignettes in 1:35 scale
• modelers who build a civilian or urban setting around their equipment
• those interested in convincing details of everyday life in a scene
• anyone who wants to give a diorama an understandable story

This is an accessory to a model, not a kit. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
