Grumman Wildcat big edition from Eduard
And while the all of the above mention sets coming on one etched sheet, the self adhesive set 49412 coming on two sets. Off course there is also two instruction sheet for this parts. Main subject for this set is the cockpit interior but also miscellaneous details on the model exterior. There are bands over the fuel tank, small frames next to the tail wheel, small caps, trim tabs and so on. But real work coming with the interior detailing. While the previous etched sheets are bare metal, this etched set has pre painted parts. As you maybe guess, this is the instrument panel with additional instrument panel parts. Interior of the Hobby Boss kit is already very good detailed but many parts from his set will make a real masterpiece of the kit. So complete interior airframe structure is included, full pilot seat details with pilot belts, control panels and framing details on cockpit canopy is greatly featured. Best at all is that parts are self adhesive and on the rear part is the gel which perfectly fixes the part for the surface.
No doubt that this is outstanding accessory detail set released for the Grumman Wildcat. It is made in the top quality and based on the best possible references. This Big Edition set is a must for the modeler who likes to give extra effort to his model. More then highly recommended!
