The Eduard 1:48 Douglas B-26B-50 Invader photo-etched set — bomb bay is an add-on set of photo-etched metal for a kit you already own, not a model. It replaces the simplified plastic shapes of the bomb bay with fine metal parts.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is an add-on set of photo-etched metal in 1:48 scale from the Czech maker Eduard, aimed at the detail of the bomb bay of the Douglas B-26B-50 Invader attack bomber. The set is not a kit and not a model: it assumes you already have the base plastic kit, and it replaces or supplements its simplified shapes. At a thickness of a few tenths of a millimeter, photo-etch can render the ribbing, racks, conduits and perforated panels that for technological reasons cannot be molded into injected plastic.
The Douglas Invader was a twin-engine all-metal attack bomber with Pratt & Whitney R-2800 Double Wasp radial engines. The version with what is called the solid nose carried fixed gun armament and its bomb load in an internal bomb bay. After the reorganization of American designations at the end of the 1940s the type was carried under the designation B-26, and in that form it served long after the Second World War, among other places in Korea and in Southeast Asia. An open bomb bay is one of the most closely watched places on a model, because you can see into the fuselage through it.
Separate the parts from the fret with a sharp scalpel against a hard surface, not by twisting. Bend the long straight bomb bay parts in a photo-etch bending tool, or at least between two razor blades, so that the edge is sharp and free of rippling. Degrease the brass with alcohol before gluing and apply a thin coat of primer, or the paint will not hold. Meter the superglue with the tip of a wire, not straight from the bottle. Assemble and paint the bomb bay before you close the fuselage up, and we recommend bringing the interior out at the end with a dark wash that runs into the ribbing.
The set is an accessory for a model, not a kit. The model, glue, paints and tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
