Eduard 1:700 Royal Navy signal flags STEEL is a set of photo-etched signal flags of the Royal Navy for ship models in 1:700 scale. It is an accessory, not a model of a ship.
Responsibility details are not available.
An add-on photo-etched set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard intended for models of warships in 1:700 scale. The STEEL range means etching from steel with color printing: the material is springier and thinner than soft brass etching, holds its shape and at the same time lets the flags be given a natural ripple. The parts are printed, so they do not have to be painted. The set is purely an accessory; neither a ship model nor masts are in the package.
On real ships, signal flags were hoisted on masts and rigging and carried messages between vessels in a formation. On a model they are a small but conspicuous element: colorful flags break up a uniform gray silhouette and instantly give the model scale and life. In 1:700 scale flags made of any other material can hardly be made convincingly thin, which is why color etching is the cleanest route.
Cut the parts out with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface rather than with nippers, as the edge of the printing can otherwise be damaged. Give a flag a slight ripple by drawing it over a rounded tool or folding it gently with tweezers; steel etching will hold the shape. It is glued with thin cyanoacrylate applied on a pin, and a slow-setting variant is an advantage, so that you have time to line the flag up. The rigging is best made of fine thread, and the flags should be fitted onto it only once it is dry. Do not spray the printed surfaces over with a flat clear coat across the board, as they would lose their saturation.
The set is supplied as a photo-etched fret. Glue, the ship model and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
