1:32 Douglas A-26B Invader bomb bay is a full Eduard photo-etched set for detailing the bomb bay of a model in 1:32 scale. It is not a mask, decals or a kit, but metal parts that stay on the model.
Responsibility details are not available.
This item belongs to the line of full photo-etched sets of Eduard. It differs from the masking sets of the same manufacturer in that a mask is only an aid for painting and disappears once the work is done, whereas photo-etched parts are glued onto the model permanently. From the smaller pre-painted sets of the Zoom line, which concentrate mainly on the cockpit and arrive finished in color, a full set differs in extent: it covers the whole area it is made for and expects you to paint the parts yourself. According to the name it is aimed at the bomb bay, that is the space that is clearly visible on a model with the doors open.
The interior of a bomb bay is in reality made up of thin beams, ribs, hinges and runs of piping. Injection-molded plastic cannot make them thin, because a mold needs draft angles and a minimum wall thickness. Photo-etched sheet measures tenths of a millimeter, so it is the only way to get the structure onto a model in a matching thickness. In 1:32 scale the bomb bay is moreover large enough for a viewer really to look into it.
Leave the parts on the fret until you need them and cut them off with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface, not with cutters. Degrease the sheet with alcohol before gluing, otherwise neither paint nor glue will hold on it. Make the folds in a bending tool or between two blades, and bend long parts gradually along their whole length. Hard sheet can be softened by a brief annealing over a flame, but take care with small parts, which burn easily. They are bonded with super glue applied on the tip of a piece of wire, not straight from the tube. Use a primer intended for metal before painting.
This is an accessory to a model, not a kit. The model, paints, primer and glue are not included in the package.
