Super

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

With Supern call Modelleisenbahner the outward improving standard railway models.

The term includes, among other things, the application of new labels, the assembly of additional parts, color finishing, the replacement of individual assemblies. The aim of Superungen is to improve the appearance of models. If the changes intervene more profoundly in the substance of the model and it is technically improved, for example by installing a new engine, one speaks of a conversion .

The term supern is also used in automobile, ship, aircraft and figure model making. In the case of modular models (also in cardboard construction, for example) sometimes not all hardware parts are included, so that the builder is left to himself to make suitable accessories.
