I had recently bought two smaller sheet of photo etch (Eduard) for a couple of kits for cheap, and I noticed that one of them had a nameplate on it. I had previously dismissed such nameplates for aircraft, but I know I can make those nameplates look really nice by painting them black and gently sanding away the paint from the letters to get a metallic shine on the text, and then sealing it all with a layer of gloss coat. I think I will pay more attention now and keep an eye out for nameplates that happen to be included in a sheet of photo etch.
