This resin set includes:

  • complete engine including fire wall between engine compartment and cockpit

  • engine plumbing and engine mounting frame

  • engine wiring in photo etch

  • engine exhausts

  • gun compartment including 2 machine guns

  • ammo boxes

  • gun compartment cowling

  • engine compartment cowlings and prop ring

  • photo etch latches for cowlings

  • photo etch parts to add further detail

There are 8 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  The instructions also include painting instructions.

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.

It is quite amazing the level of detail you can add to a 1/72 model these days.  In previous year, a level of detail this set offers would have been unimaginable.  But now we are blessed with such wonderful detail sets.  This set will give you a stunning level of engine and gun compartment detail.  You will need to cut away the fuselage to fit the resin cowlings, but that should be an easy job.

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