Review Type: FirstLook
Advantages: High level of detail that will result in an even more impressive Airfix 1:48 scale Bristol Bulldog Mk.II.
Disadvantages:  
Recommendation:

The use of the photo-etched fret will result in a noticeably better detailed cockpit, especially around the instrument panel. The addition of the photo-etched harness straps will also be a highly visible upgrade.

The SPACE set offer a valid alternative to photo-etched parts alone.

The masks will save a little time and add sharp precision to the clear parts on the canopy too!

These are very useful investments for your Airfix 1:48 scale Bristol Bulldog Mk.II.

FirstLook


Eduard has produced a range of accessories for the recent ICM 1:48 scale B-26B Marauder kit.

Tonight I review six of Eduard's useful upgrades for this nice kit.

491476 - Eduard Photo-Etch - Bulldog Mk.II for Airfix kit

 

 

Two photo-etched fret is supplied.

 

 

These focuse on interior and exterior details.

 

 

The three-part coloured photo-etch is the highlight here.

 

 

Detailed assembly instructions are included.


 

FE1476 - Eduard Photo-Etch - Bulldog Mk.II Seat Belts for Airfix kit

 

 

This set includes one coloured photo-etched fret. As the name implies this one focuses on the harness straps.

Once again, visible additional detail is offered.


 

3DL48195 - Eduard SPACE - Bulldog Mk.II for Airfix kit

 

 

This SPACE set has a 3d printed instrument panel.

 

 

Also included is a really nice 3d printed throttle quadrant with all the detail produced as a single part - very impressive!

 

 

Photo-etched harness straps are also supplied.


 

EX-1044 Masks - B-26B Marauder for ICM kit

 

 

Die-cut, self-adhesive masks for the kit windscreen and wheels.

 

 

These represent a fast and accurate solution for a time consuming and often disliked modelling task.

 

 

Conclusion

 

The use of the photo-etched fret will result in a noticeably better detailed cockpit, especially around the instrument panel. The addition of the photo-etched harness straps will also be a highly visible upgrade.

The SPACE set offer a valid alternative to photo-etched parts alone.

The masks will save a little time and add sharp precision to the clear parts on the canopy too!

These are all very useful investments for your Airfix 1:48 scale Bristol Bulldog Mk.II

Thanks to Eduard for the review samples
