About product

Douglas B-26C Invader 1:48 — a Zoom set from Eduard

Zoom is the shortened version of the color etch from Eduard. It contains a selection of key pre-printed parts of the pilot's cockpit, while a full color set adds a range of small items for the rest of the interior and a full unpainted etch aims rather at structural details. That is precisely why Zoom suits cases where you want to raise the level of the cockpit noticeably in a few tens of minutes of work. This particular item is a metal accessory, not a masking set or decals, even though other kinds of product carry the same subject name.

The real subject

The Douglas A-26 Invader, later redesignated B-26, was an American twin-engine attack aircraft with a high speed and a considerable load-carrying performance. The C version differed from the B version in a glazed nose with a station for the bombardier. The cockpit was roomy for its day, with a view through a large canopy, so the interior stays clearly visible once the model is finished and is worth investing in.

Building and painting tips

The color parts are printed in production, so handle them in clean gloves or with tweezers, as the print can be scratched. Cut them out with a scalpel close to the tab and sand the burr down carefully. Make the folds in a bending tool; for small parts two blades are enough. The instrument panel in this line is usually two-layered, so dry-fit the layers first and only then join them with a small drop of super glue. A drop of gloss clear suits the recesses of the dials and creates the impression of glass. Remove the relief the etch is glued onto from the plastic part, otherwise the assembly will grow too large and the cockpit will not close. Do not spray the pre-printed areas with a covering color.

Who the set is for

  • builders of the Invader in 1:48 scale who want a quick improvement of the cockpit
  • modelers with no appetite for painting miniature instruments
  • beginners in working with photo-etched parts, because Zoom has a limited number of parts
  • builds where the cockpit will stay open

This is an accessory set, not a standalone kit. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

It is a shortened version of a color photo-etched set. It contains a selection of the main pre-printed parts of the pilot's cockpit instead of the full extent of the interior.

It is not. It is a photo-etched metal accessory. Masking sets for the same subject are separate products among the masks.

The main areas are printed in production. All that needs touching up are the bare metal edges left after cutting out.

As a rule yes. The raised relief is removed from the plastic part so that the etch sits down and the cockpit can be closed after installation.
