Eduard's latest Big Ed set is destined for Trumpeter's 1/32 scale P-38L Lightning kit. The Lightning is one of Trumpeter's better efforts, and is doubtless good straight from the box, but it is especially worthy of extra effort in this scale due to its large, highly visible cockpit and big undercarriage bays.

The Big Ed concept is simple - squeeze every possible piece of photo-etched detail plus self-adhesive canopy masks into a single package. In this case, the individual components are:

• Exterior details - two large photo-etched frets containing replacement vents, rocket details, flap interiors and much more.

• Undercarriage details - Two large photo-etched sets to detail the undercarriage legs, those big wheel wells and gear doors

• Harnesses - this is a colour etched fret with a four point harnessz. Fabric renditions and stitching looks fantastic in this scale.

• Interior Set - This comprises three photo etched sheets (including one in colour), and is the pièce de résistance. It includes a beautiful colour instrument panel and placards to bring the front office to life. Extra detail is also provided for the large gun bay in the nose.

Eduard's Big Ed Lightning set will deliver an incredibly detailed replica of the P-38. If you want a super-detailed Dauntless, this is the way to get it!
