The kit combines resin parts with photo-etched details and includes materials for glazing and cable simulation, which helps make the crane structure look complete in close-up views.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crane is a large, “scene-defining” object at 1\/144, so clean geometry and believable rigging matter more than tiny surface texture. This set is built around that idea: structure first, then cables and small fittings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUse it as ground-support equipment in airfield-style layouts, placed near parked aircraft, maintenance areas, or perimeter hardstanding (layout and positioning are project-dependent).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor modelers:\u003c\/strong\u003e plan the build as subassemblies (chassis, boom, hook\/cable run) and dry-fit the main frame before adding photo-etched parts. Add the thread last, after paint, and secure it with small glue points to avoid buildup. For the transparent film, cut slightly oversize, test-fit, then trim to final size for clean “window” edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aircraft Recovery Crane NS60\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariant \/ Family:\u003c\/strong\u003e NS60 crane (single option)\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 Diorama\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended kit:\u003c\/strong\u003e for Any \/ Universal 1\/144 diorama projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eService \/ Subject country:\u003c\/strong\u003e not specified\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 Resin parts, photo-etched metal, transparent film, thread\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e MDR14409\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\/diorama\"\u003eDiorama\u003c\/a\u003e.
