Eduard 53178 International Marine Signal Flags STEEL 1/350

Eduard 53178 International Marine Signal Flags STEEL 1/350 is an extremely precise set of signal flags used on maritime vessels, manufactured by the renowned Czech company Eduard. This product is dedicated to modelers building ships in 1:350 scale who strive to achieve the highest level of realism and faithfully reproduce even the smallest details. International signal categories have been an integral element of maritime communication from the 19th century up to the present day. This type of flag was used by most naval and civilian fleets worldwide, including the Royal Navy, US Navy, the German Kriegsmarine, the Soviet Navy, and others. They were especially important during World War II, the Cold War, and modern times, enabling quick visual communication at sea – including during convoy, patrol, and combat operations.

The Eduard 53178 set is made from high-quality, thin photo-etched steel, which ensures maximum precision, durability, and an extremely realistic appearance even for the smallest elements. The steel used perfectly replicates the texture of real flags and allows for easy modeling according to the natural layout of fabric waving in the wind. The flags can be easily bent, making it possible to achieve an authentic, dynamic look that cannot be accomplished with standard decals or paper accessories. The set includes a full range of international MKS code flags as well as several letter and signal flags, allowing for the creation of any historically or currently used signal combination by naval fleets.
