AIMS has released two simple photo-etched detail sets for Luftwaffe modellers.

They are:

  • AIMS Item No. 48PE005 - Me 262 Latches & Hatches, and

  • AIMS Item No. 48PE006 - Luftwaffe Latches

The Me 262 set includes latches and hatches for fuel and inspection ports. Four styles of hatch are included. These are made up of the external cover and the interior locking mechanism. Although this set is specified for the Me 262, the hatches and latches are common to many other Luftwaffe aircraft, so their usage will be quite versatile.

 

 

As you might expect, the "Latches" set includes the latches only.

The latches are quite tiny, so some careful bending will be required for the maximum effect.

 

 

Each set is supplied with colour instructions.

These are simple but useful detail upgrades for your 1/48 scale Luftwaffe aircraft.

Thanks to AIMS for the sample
