FirstLook

Eduard has just expanded their range of accessories for the Revell 1:32 scale Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-2/4 kit.

The modeller is offered the option of 3D printed decals from Eduard's SPACE range, or 3D printed resin and pre-painted colour photo-etch - the choice is yours!

3DL32010 - Bf 109 G-2/4 SPACE for the Revell kit. USD$19.95

This SPACE set comprises 3D printed decals for the instrument panel and placards, plus photo-etched parts for the half-tone harness straps and throttles.

I have used a SPACE set recently on several of my projects over the last couple of years and I was very pleased with the results.

The 3D printed decals look really good in real life - better than my much larger-than-life studio photos!

I found that the 3D decals barely needed to be wet at all before they would slide - or sometimes fall - off the backing sheet. I used Gator’s Grip acrylic glue to secure the 3D printed decals to the plastic kit parts.

Detailed instructions are included.

634029 - Eduard LOOK Bf 109 G-2 for Revell Kit. USD$12.95

If you prefer resin, there's an option for you too.

The LOOK range offers a resin instrument panel with one colour photo-etched fret providing detail focused on the cockpit.

Specifically, the set includes a new multi-part pre-coloured photo-etched instrument panel, handles, switches, knobs and more.

This is a compact but noticeable update to Revell's 1/32 scale Bf 109 G-2/4 kit. It is good value at USD$12.95 too.

Conclusion

The use of the SPACE or the LOOK photo-etched sets will result in a noticeably better detailed cockpit in Revell's 1/32 scale Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-2/4 kit.

These are both useful upgrades.

3D printed instrument panel or resin? The choice is yours!

Thanks to Eduard for the review samples
