This resin set includes gun bays for both wings with a total of 2 gun bays with bulged covers, 4 guns and ammo all in resin and various sheet metal parts come on the photo etch sheet.

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 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 up and adding gun bays loaded with detail on a Spitfire shows beautifully the true purpose of this much loved fighter.  The combination of resin and photo etch makes this detail set perfectly balanced in the detail.

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