This set includes 29 resin pieces and 1 fret of pre-painted photo etch and acetate "glass" panels for the gun sight.  There are 4 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow and include painting instructions.  

You will be required to fold the photo etch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process.  They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.

The Spitfire has a very complicated cockpit and this set provides all the parts to correctly add all that wonderful detail we see in the Spitfire cockpit.  With careful work you can give your Eduard Spitfire Mk VIII a stunning cockpit loaded with detail.

You can buy this detail set and thousands of other items directly from Eduard Model Accessories.
