Eduard has produced a range of accessories for the lovely 1/48 scale P-39Q Airacobra from Arma Hobby.

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

491477 - Eduard Photo-Etch - P-39Q for Arma Hobby kit

One coloured and one brass photo-etched fret are in the bag.

The colour parts focus on cockpit and the instrument panel in particular.

The brass photo-etched fret contains mainly exterior details.

Detailed assembly instructions are included.

FE1477 - Eduard ZOOM - P-39Q for Arma Hobby kit

This set includes one coloured photo-etched fret. This is the same as the coloured fret in the photo-etched set as described above.

Once again, visible additional detail is offered, and good value at the lower price.

3DL48146 - Eduard SPACE - P-39Q for Arma Hobby kit

This SPACE set offers a 3d printed instrument panel.

Also included is a nice front office harness and small cockpit details.

Instructions are included.

EX-1067 Masks - P-39Q for Arma Hobby kit

EX-1068 TFace Masks - P-39Q for Arma Hobby kit

Here we have the choice of the outside-only or double-sided TFace masks.

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.

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 offers 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 Arma Hobby 1/48 scale P-39Q Airacobra.

Thanks to Eduard for the review samples
