This resin and bronze set from Eduard is part of the Brassin series and is available directly from Eduard Model Accessories. This set includes 1/72 Spitfire Mk. IX legs in bronze with 4 spoke wheels and painting masks in 1/72 scale.
This resin set includes:
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. This landing gear set is loaded with excellent detail. The gear doors have recessed rivet detail and the 4 spoke main wheels are very well done. The main tires have plenty of raised sidewall writing etc. The tail wheel is small as is to be expected, but includes very well done detail on the gear leg and wheel. The bronze main gear legs will give much appreciated strength and crisp detail and the addition of photo etch for the oleos is an excellent idea. The painting masks will make the job of painting the main wheels much easier. You can buy this detail set and thousands of other items directly from Eduard Model Accessories.
