The Eduard Zoom photo-etched set in 1:48 scale for the Tempest Mk.II (Weekend) is a color self-adhesive photo-etched fret for detailing a kit, not a model of the aircraft.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is an accessory for a kit, not a model of an aircraft. At the Czech firm Eduard the Zoom line is a smaller, pre-painted subset of the full photo-etched set: the parts come printed in color from the factory and with a self-adhesive layer, so they can be fitted without painting and without drawn-out preparation. The designation Weekend in the name specifies which boxing of the kit in 1:48 scale the set is cut for - one type often has several boxes on the market and the photo-etched parts differ between them, so it is worth keeping an eye on.
The Hawker Tempest Mk.II was a British single-seat fighter of the late Second World War period. It differs from the better-known Mk.V above all in its powerplant: instead of the liquid-cooled Napier Sabre H-engine it received an air-cooled Bristol Centaurus radial, which goes with a completely different, shorter and fuller nose. The type kept its thin wing with a laminar-flow section. For a modeler it is an interesting counterpart to the more common Tempest with the in-line engine.
Separate the photo-etched parts with a sharp scalpel on a hard surface; do not break them out. Dress any burrs with a fine file. Make the bend in a bending tool or between two blades, and the edge will be sharp. Do not overspray the printed parts and do not clean them with a strong thinner; alcohol is enough to degrease them. The self-adhesive layer holds on smooth plastic, but on larger parts a drop of super glue or an adhesive made for photo-etched parts is useful. Sand away in advance the plastic details that the photo-etched parts replace - otherwise the part will not seat and the gap will show.
The set holds photo-etched parts only. The kit, paints and glue are not included in the package.
