This resin set includes:

  • 3 gun bays for both wings (6 in total)

  • resin guns

  • resin gun bay covers

  • photo etch sides for gun bays

  • photo etch bottoms for gun bays

  • resin ammo canister for cannons

There are 3 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  

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.

This set gives you the gun bay detail you want.  You will need to cut away the gun bay covers on the kit wings which will be replaced by the resin gun bay covers.  Then you build the gun bays and install them in the wings with the guns.  The combination of resin and photo etch gives these gun bays exceptional 3D realism. 

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