McDonnell Douglas MD-87, Detailing set for aircraft model kits Exterior, Scale 1:144 Photoetch (Recommended for kit: AMP) Metallic Details MD14427

Metallic Details MD14427 Photo-Etched Set provides a single photo-etch board for McDonnell Douglas MD-87 exterior detailing in 1/144. The set is useful where an airliner build benefits from thinner, sharper exterior items than molded plastic can comfortably represent.

The MD-87 is a twin-engine commercial jetliner, and this upgrade set helps keep small exterior features consistent and restrained, which matters on clean fuselage and nacelle surfaces.

For modelers: check alignment against your kit’s panel lines and doors before cutting parts from the fret. Remove any raised plastic detail only where needed, then add photo-etched parts after major sanding and polishing. Prime the metal, and use minimal adhesive to avoid visible glue marks on smooth airliner skins.

FAQ

Is this set intended for one specific kit?

Yes. The recommended kit brand is AMP; fit and placement are based on that kit’s exterior layout.

Should I install photo-etched parts before or after painting?

Most exterior photo-etched parts are easier to blend in when installed before final paint. Very small pieces are often safer to add near the end to reduce handling damage.

How can I avoid glue marks on smooth airliner surfaces?

Use tiny amounts of adhesive and place it from the backside or edge where possible. Test placement dry first so you don’t need to reposition parts repeatedly.
