Eduard 1/48 Weekend Zoom Photo Etch Sets
By Jacob Russell
Here are 3 new Zoom photo-etch sets for Eduard's 1/48th scale P-51D, Bf109G-6 and G-6/AS Weekend Edition kits. All 3 consist of a combination of painted and unpainted parts on a single stainless steel fret.
FE1141 is for the P-51D. It includes 41 parts, including a new seat harness, instrument panel, ring-and-bead gun sight, radio box details, sidewall consoles, tail wheel door levers, radiator grille, throttle quadrant, etc.

FE1142 is for the Messerschmitt Bf109G-6/AS. It includes 43 parts, including a new instrument panel, instrument panel, rudder pedals, the chain for the landing gear retraction wheels, sidewall consoles, oxygen regulator face, etc.

FE1170 is for the Messerschmitt Bf109G-6. It includes 43 parts and is basically identical to the G-6/AS PE. Upgrades include a new D/F loop, “Moran” antenna, exhaust shields, oil cooler and wing radiator faces, etc. A nice bonus inclusion for both 109 frets is a mini scribing template for the pair of doors on the fuselage between the cowl and windscreen.

I'm a fan of Eduard's Weekend Edition kits. If you'd like a cheaper, simpler alternative to the ProfiPACK kits, just buy the Weekend version and get the ZOOM PE and canopy masks if so inclined. I recommend these sets and I would like Eduard for the review samples.
