Description
Metallic Details MD14409 is a photo-etched exterior detailing set for the VC-140B Lockheed JetStar in 1/144, recommended for the Roden kit. The focus is on thin exterior parts that sharpen surface features on a smooth airframe where small fittings remain visible after paint.
This is an upgrade set only (the aircraft model kit is not included). Use it to add external detail without changing the core assembly of the kit.
The VC-140B is a VIP transport variant of the Lockheed JetStar family. The subject is associated with operators including the United States, and also Canada and Germany (operator/finish choices depend on your project and references).
For modelers: finish seam work and surface prep first, then dry-fit each metal part before glue. For long exterior pieces, tack them in place with small dots of adhesive, align, and then secure the full contact line. Lightly scuff the bonding spots and prime over the metal to keep paint sheen consistent between plastic and photo-etch.

FAQ
Is this set intended specifically for the Roden VC-140B JetStar?
Yes. MD14409 is recommended for Roden and is planned as an exterior upgrade for a 1/144 VC-140B JetStar build.
When should I add the photo-etched exterior parts?
Install them after major assembly, seam work, and surface corrections. This reduces the risk of bending small parts during sanding and handling.
What adhesive is commonly used for photo-etched parts on plastic?
Most builders use small amounts of cyanoacrylate (CA). For tiny pieces, a slower-setting option can help with alignment before the bond is final.
