Three stranded rail Scale 1:700 Metallic Details MD70002

Metallic Details MD70002 Photo-Etched Set provides three-stranded railings for 1/700 ship models. The key benefit is a thin, consistent railing line that reads correctly at small scale along deck edges and platform perimeters.

Railings are a high-visibility detail on finished ship builds because they create a clear boundary between decks and open air. This set is intended as a universal accessory: cut sections to length and adapt runs to your specific hull and superstructure layout.

For modelers: plan railing runs early and measure in short segments rather than trying to wrap long continuous pieces. Pre-shape gentle curves on a smooth round handle, test-fit around corners, then attach with tiny CA dots; paint after installation (or touch up joints) to keep stanchions looking even.

FAQ

Can I use this railing set on any 1/700 ship kit?

It’s designed as a universal 1/700 railing solution. Fit and run length are layout-dependent, so cut and adjust sections to your specific kit.

How do I handle corners and curves cleanly?

Work in short segments. Pre-shape curves on a round handle, then fine-tune corners during test-fit before glue.

Should I paint railings before or after installation?

Both approaches work. Painting after installation helps keep joints consistent; if you pre-paint, expect small touch-ups at cut ends and attachment points.
