Description
Metallic Details MD7210 Photo-Etched Set upgrades the nose landing gear door area for F/A-18F builds in 1/72. The practical gain is a thinner door edge and cleaner surface definition in a spot that stays visible when the model sits on its gear.
The F/A-18F is a twin-engine, tandem-seat aircraft where landing gear areas are often left open and easy to inspect on a finished model. This set targets a single exterior feature, keeping the upgrade focused and kit-friendly.
For modelers: paint the gear bay and surrounding areas first, then add the PE door detail late in the build. Test-fit on the kit door surface, keep CA application minimal, and align edges while the glue is still workable to avoid a stepped look.

FAQ
Is this set specific to one kit brand?
It’s listed as universal for 1/72 F/A-18F builds. Fit can vary by tooling, so compare the PE part against your kit door before glue.
Should I install this before or after painting?
For cleaner edges, finish bay and door-area painting first, then install the PE part and touch up attachment points.
What is the safest way to avoid excess glue marks?
Use tiny CA dots applied with a fine tip. Hold alignment for a few seconds, then remove any squeeze-out before it cures.
