Eduard 1:48 — P-40N, radiators upgrade set (PRINT) replaces the radiators and their flaps under the nose of the model. It is not a kit — the P-40N model from Eduard you have to own yourself.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is not a kit but a detail set from Eduard in 1:48 scale that replaces plastic parts in the model. According to the manufacturer it contains the oil and coolant radiators and the radiator flaps for the P-40N and is designated for the P-40N kit from Eduard. The parts are made by direct 3D printing in resin; the set contains neither photo-etch nor decals.
The big chin under the nose is the recognition mark of the whole P-40 family — it is the most prominent element of the airplane's silhouette and the viewer's eye ends up on it before it reaches the cockpit. In plastic this part tends to be a compromise: the grilles and louvers are thick-walled, often blanked off, so the radiator intake looks like a solid piece of material. 3D printing allows thin, fine and open louvers and flaps and suggests the depth of the space behind them. What is more, on the real machine the flaps were set according to the flight regime, so you can show them partly open as well.
The P-40N was a late, lightened variant and differs in details from earlier machines such as the P-40E. The set is designated precisely for the P-40N; it need not be interchangeable with a model of another P-40 version, and the manufacturer offers separate sets for other versions. Before you order it, make sure which version of the P-40 you are actually building.
Resin is not bonded by cement for polystyrene — you need cyanoacrylate or epoxy, which gives more time to seat the part. First wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water so that they are rid of mold release residue; otherwise the paint will not hold on smooth resin. Sand and clean up wet only: resin dust is harmful to health and must not be inhaled. Spray the screens and louvers in a thin coat — a heavy coat of paint will clog the fine openings at once.
A detail set, not a model. It is supplied unpainted; glue and paints are not included in the package.
