There are 6 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.

Opening the gun bays on a Spitfire is a great way to add some amazing detail and to do this in 1/72 scale is truly mindblowing.  If you want to take your Spitfire to a whole new level of detail, then this gun bay set is a must.

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