This resin set includes:

  • two turbochargers

  • 2 large intake

  • 4 smaller intakes

  • 2 photos etch parts to lay flat around the turbochargers

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.

You will need to cut a bit of the kit to fit the smaller intakes.  The turbochargers on the top of the P-38J engines are a very pronounced area of detail, so adding these resin turbochargers will really step up the detail level in this area.  

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