Key Features
- CNC Machined Construction — Every component of this acetylene tank and welding torch has been precisely machined using computer-controlled equipment, ensuring perfect dimensional accuracy and consistency that you simply cannot achieve with hand-fabricated parts. This manufacturing process guarantees that each detail is crisp, clean and true to scale.
- Billet Aluminium and Copper Materials — The tank and torch are constructed from premium billet aluminium and copper, materials that are both durable and authentic to real-world welding equipment. These materials have been selected not only for their visual appearance but for their ability to resist corrosion and maintain their finish over time, even in varied storage conditions.
- Corrosion Resistant Finish — Unlike cheaper scale accessories that can tarnish, rust or discolour over time, this acetylene tank and welding torch set has been treated to resist corrosion, maintaining its pristine appearance for years of display enjoyment. This is especially important for UK collectors where humidity and temperature fluctuations are common.
- Hand-Painted Red Colour — The distinctive red finish is applied by hand, capturing the authentic look of real welding equipment whilst maintaining the scale appearance. The hand-painted approach ensures depth of colour and realistic variation that cannot be achieved with simple spray coating, adding significant visual impact to your scale display.
- Amazing Detail — Every aspect of this accessory, from the tank valve hardware to the torch nozzle and hose connectors, has been crafted with remarkable attention to fine detail. When placed in your scale garage or diorama, these details will be immediately noticeable and appreciated by anyone viewing your collection.
- Complete Welding Hose Included — Rather than selling just the tank and torch separately, RC4WD has included a 500mm welding hose that connects the components together, creating a fully functional and realistic welding setup. The hose can be cut to your preferred length, allowing you to customise the setup to match your specific diorama layout and scene requirements.
- Perfect Scale Proportions — With an outer diameter of 20.36mm and total height of 91.07mm, these components are precisely proportioned for 1/10 scale applications, ensuring they sit naturally alongside your 1/10 scale vehicles, figures and other garage accessories without appearing oversized or undersized.
