1:48 Bristol F.2B Fighter Weekend

Bristol F.2B Fighter Weekend - ZOOM photo-etched set (1:48, Eduard)

A detail accessory, not an airplane model. This is a so-called ZOOM set from Eduard - a smaller, selective set of color-printed photo-etched parts. The ZOOM range concentrates above all on the visible parts of the cockpit: the instrument panel, the side panels and the seat belts. The set is shaped for the kit of the British two-seat First World War fighter Bristol F.2B Fighter in the Weekend edition from Eduard, in 1:48 scale.

What the set contains and what it is for

• A color-printed instrument panel - a realistic look without painting the dials.
• Seat belts for the crew.
• Selected side panels and small cockpit details.

Compared with a full photo-etched set, ZOOM is a narrower selection - it holds mainly the colored interior parts, not the complete exterior skin panels. It is a quick way to improve the most visible part of the model considerably.

Use and fitting

• Check that you are building the Eduard Bristol F.2B Fighter (Weekend edition) in 1:48 scale.
• Break the parts off the fret and bend them along the engraved lines.
• Fix the colored parts with super glue (cyanoacrylate) or a drop of clear varnish so that the print stays intact.
• Finish and fit the cockpit before closing the fuselage.

Who the set is for

For modelers building the Bristol F.2B Fighter in 1:48 scale from Eduard who want to raise the level of cockpit detail quickly and with minimal work, without dealing with a full photo-etched set. Suitable for less experienced builders too - there are only a few parts and they are pre-printed.

This is a detail accessory, not an airplane kit. The base model, paints and glue are not included in the package.
