This resin set includes:

  • 2 bladed propeller

  • resin hub

  • photo etch bracket to go over resin hub

  • photo etch spacer behind the prop blade

There are 2 pages of instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which are so easy to follow.  The instructions also include painting instructions.

You will be required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The Small Shop, then this will be an easy process.  They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.

The SE.5a was one of the fastest aircraft of the war, while being both stable and relatively manoeuvrable and has been called the 'Spitfire of World War One".

This set lets you easily upgrade the prop to a much higher level of detail to further improve your model in this critical area.  I like the addition of the photo etch parts as they provide an extra level of detail that is not possible with just resin.

You can buy this detail set and thousands of other items directly from Eduard Model Accessories.
