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
is mostly a cockpit detail set designed for the 1/72 Great Wall Hobby
F-15I.
The parts include some pre-painted parts for the instrument panel,
seatbelts, side consoles, sidewall details, ejection seat handles, canopy
framing etc.
You also get a few parts for airbrake area, weapons clamps for pylons,
landing gear bay details, landing gear detail parts, exhausts, radar parts etc.
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.
This set hits all the critical areas and then some. The multi-layered instrument panel will look awesome once it is assembled and I love the fact seat belts are included. The cockpit details are plentiful, but the detail items for the rest of the model is also quite comprehensive. It is amazing what can be done in 1/72. You can buy this pre-painted photo etch detail set and thousands of other items directly from Eduard Model Accessories. Steve Bamford
