        Eduard

        1/32 Bf110D (BIG ED)

        EDU63282 from HobbyLink Japan http://www.hlj.com/

        Product article by Nick Moore

        This is Eduard’s Big Ed set for Dragon’s 1/32 Bf110D and is comprised of the following individual PE sets:

        1 x 32235 Bf 110D Exterior 
        1 x 32629 Bf 110D Seatbelts 
        1 x 32639 Bf 110D Interior 

        Also included is Mask Set:

        1 x JX091 Bf 110D Flexible Masks

        The standard of the PE is of course excellent and will provide an extra dimension of detail to a kit which already has some pretty nice work done in plastic. These are some of the PE enhancements/replacements you will find - 

        Exterior Set includes:

        Heavy fabric lining of landing gear bays

        Landing gear brake lines

        Gear door tensioners and hinge details

        Rudder trim tab actuators

        Bomb fin stays

        Loop antenna 

        Interior Set includes:

        Instrument/radio panel faces, controls etc

        Throttles

        Rudder pedals

        Gun sites (including Revi C/12D)

        Magazine straps

        Canopy mechanisms

        Seatbelts Set:

        Well…seatbelts (but all components are separate, nicely detailed and the belts are coloured and stitched)

        Flexible Masks

        The extensive glazing on the 110 is covered here in what would have to be a great saver of time and headaches. 

        Like many PE sets, some of the enhancements in this bunch are almost indispensable while others can be left on the frets. For example, the linings for the gear bays would seem to be a must to remedy those smooth plastic vertical walls in the kit and in this large scale any parts on the real aircraft made from sheet metal are crying out for a PE replacement.

        Recommended for all those pursuing that next level for their Dragon 1/32 Bf110D.

        This PE set can be purchased here: http://www.hlj.com/product/EDU63282

        My thanks to HobbyLink Japan (http://www..hlj.com/) for providing this review sample.
