This pre-painted
photo
etch detail set from
Eduard is part
of the Zoom series of photo etch sets and is available directly from
Eduard
Model Accessories. This
set includes 2 photo etch frets and is mostly an exterior set but also includes
critical cockpit detail parts designed for the
1/48 Gallery Models H-34.
The parts include some pre-painted parts for the instrument panel,
seats etc.
You also get a many tiny exterior detail parts for handles, engine details
and many tiny exterior details including windshield wipers.
There are 5 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 cut away detail on the kit parts to fit these photo
etched parts, but this is indicated on the instruction sheets.
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.
The folks at Eduard put quite a bit of thought in this set to capture all the tiny little fine details on the exterior of the H-34 and adding this set will greatly enhance the exterior detail with fine detail that makes a super detailed model stand out. The prepainted cockpit detailing will take the cockpit up to a very pleasing level of detail with minimum effort. The details on this set even include a tiny tiny gun sight for the side gunners machine gun and the screens over the nose will make a vast difference in detail once installed. You do not get seatbelts in this set but you can buy prepainted seatbelts in the Eduard set FE 1031. You can buy this pre-painted photo etch detail set and thousands of other items directly from Eduard Model Accessories. Steve Bamford
