1/32 scale Photo-Etched Sets

32 593 - Fw 190 Placards for new Hasegawa kits (Colour)

The addition of placards to any cockpit in the large scale of 1/32 will be very noticeable, so this new Placard set fro Hasegawa's 1/32 scale Fw 190 family will be very welcome. As usual with Eduard's colour photo-etched parts, printing is crisp and all text is readable, albeit a magnifying glass is required for some! This will be a great addition to any 1/32 scale Wurger.

32 594 - Ju 87 D Stuka Interior for Hasegawa (Colour - also pictured at top of page)

The long cockpit under the large glasshouse canopy of the Junkers Ju 87 D Stuka is very obvious from outside the model. Eduard has addressed this issue with their big photo-etched interior set.

The instrument panel and radio set is the focus of the colour fret, while large and small interior and structural details are covered in the standard unpainted metal.

Incredibly, Eduard seems to have replicated the "crinkle finish" on the instrument panel and radios.

Harnesses are not included in this set, but are available from Eduard as a separate colour photo-etched set.

1/24 Scale Photo-Etched Set

23 010 - Bf 109 K-4 Placards for Trumpeter

The addition of placards to any cockpit in the large scale of 1/24 will be very noticeable, so this new Placard set fro Trumpeter's 1/24 scale Messerschmitt Bf 109 K-4 will be very welcome. As usual with Eduard's colour photo-etched parts, printing is crisp. Placards are supplied for the cockpit and the exterior.  This will be a great addition to any 1/24 scale Kurfurst.

Masks 1/72

Eduard CX 183 - Ju 88 G for Hasegawa
Eduard CX 186 - Wellington Mk.III for MPM
Eduard 48 557 - Fw 190 A-5

Eduard's masks are now all produced in the flexible yellow material similar to that used for Tamiya's masking tape. The masks are strong and flexible, with adhesive that does not let paint "bleed" under the edges. They do not leave marks on the clear parts after removal either.

This months highlights include masks for several potential masking horror stories. Who really wants to sit for a few hours cutting out masks for glasshouse canopies such as a 1/72 scale Junkers Ju 88 G or a Wellington? Come on, hands up!

These pre-cut masks will eliminate the tedium of this task, and will deliver a much more precise and accurate result that most of us could manage.
