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 frets of photo etch including one that is painted. is mostly a cockpit detail set designed
for the 1/48 AMK IAI
Kfir C7.
The parts include some pre-painted parts for the instrument panel,
side consoles, ejection seat handles etc.
You also get a few parts for canopy frames.
There are 2 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.
This set gives excellent pre-painted cockpit detailing and the canopy frame and mirrors are an excellent addition. CA glue fumes fog clear plastic canopies, so either coat the canopy in Future before using CA glue to attach the photo etch canopy framing or attach the photo etch canopy frame using Future as a glue or use white glue. You can buy this pre-painted photo etch detail set and thousands of other items directly from Eduard Model Accessories. Steve Bamford |
