This pre-painted photo etch detail set from Eduard is part of the Zoom series of photo etch sets and is available directly from Eduard Model AccessoriesThis is mostly a cockpit detail set designed for the 1/72 Eduard MiG-21PFM.  The parts include parts for the landing gear bay and main landing gear legs, interior of the exhaust, landing gear doors, missile launch rails and missiles and gun pod as well as a few tiny pieces for the tail area etc.

There are 4 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  You will be required to cut away detail on the kit parts to fit these photo etched parts, but this is indicated on the instruction sheets.

You will be required to fold the photoetch 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.

I like this set.  It gives you tiny detail in some great areas that will show well on the finished MiG-21.

You can buy this pre-painted photo etch detail set and thousands of other items directly from Eduard Model Accessories.
