 Subject:  Re: Photo etch......how important is it really?List thread.  
  
 Date:  Sep 11, 2006
 From:  Damon Agretto 
Whenever I use PE, I rarely use more than half the fret (this is assuming buying it aftermarket). I recently finished construction of Dragon's T-34/85M NVA, no PE included in the box, and about the only thing I would replace with PE in the kit would be the engine screen (though I didn't) and the straps for the ice cleats. Anything else would be IMHO unneccessary, or better represented in another medium (like the turret rear tie-downs, in brass rod with the ends smashed...).
