This resin set includes a vast array of resin and photo etch parts to for the gun bays in the Spitfire Mk VIII gun bays on the wing.  These are gun bays after they have been rearmed with a full load of ammunition.  The level of detail is quite overwhelming with layer upon layer of wonderful detail being woven into these gun bays as they are assembled into your spitfire.

There are 2 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  

You may 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.

There is nothing sweeter than a model with added detail and I can think of nothing better than a fighter with fully detailed gun bays with the covers off exposing all that delicious detail.  This set would be quite the improvement to the Eduard Spitfire and will take it to a whole new level of detail.

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