It includes one 3D-printed resin part and a small photo-etched fret to refine the tail area where thin edges and crisp shapes make a visible difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tail section is a natural focal point on large transport aircraft in small scale: it sits high, catches light, and is often viewed from the rear quarter. This set supports a cleaner, more defined tail finish while keeping the work localized to one assembly area (kit-dependent).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor modelers:\u003c\/strong\u003e test-fit the resin part against the fuselage before committing to glue, and confirm alignment on the centerline when viewed from above and from the rear. Do major seam cleanup first, then add photo-etched parts after sanding is complete to avoid bending. Prime the mixed materials before paint, and keep contact faces free of heavy paint buildup to maintain fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e C-5B Galaxy tail\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariant \/ Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e C-5 Galaxy family (C-5B)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1\/144 (also written as 1:144)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Detail set\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType of equipment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aircraft\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e for Roden\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Metallic Details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ukraine\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3D-printed resin, photo-etched metal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e MDR14411\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis item is part of \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metallic-details\"\u003eMetallic Details\u003c\/a\u003e and belongs to \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/aftermarket\"\u003eAftermarket\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/exterior-details\"\u003eExterior Details\u003c\/a\u003e.
