Hasegawa Photo Etch Mesh 23 Hexagon – Medium Duct Detailing for Small to Medium Kits PA23

Hasegawa Photo Etch Modeling Mesh 23 Hexagon Shape in a convenient medium size brings a new level of detail to duct surfaces on scale models. The fine hexagonal pattern reads as crisp texture under varied lighting, allowing you to introduce believable micro-detail without overwhelming the original kit lines.

Designed for general purpose use, PA23 is best described as a versatile etching part that excels at subtle enhancements of duct parts and related interior features. The mesh pattern is described as fine hexagons with a horizontal pitch of 0.31 mm and vertical pitch of 0.36 mm, offering a balanced density ideal for small to medium scale kits. The sheet size is 4.4 by 8.5 cm, making it practical to cut to fit multiple parts or sections of a model.
