This bronze resin set includes:

  • 2 bronze main gear legs

  • 2 resin landing gear doors for main landing gear

  • 2 resin main wheels/tires

  • resin tail wheel and landing gear leg

  • main wheel painting masks

There are 2 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.

This set includes some great looking detail.  The bronze main gear legs will give crisp detail and are not brittle like resin.  The main gear doors have recessed detail on both sides.  The main 5 spoke wheels are beautifully rendered and include treaded Dunlop tires with raised writing on the sidewalls.  The tail wheel and leg give much better detail in resin.  You also get painting masks for the main wheels.  The detail in this set is exceptional and a big improvement over the plastic kit parts.

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