Eduard 1/72 Canberra PR.9 Landing Flaps NR

By Matt Bittner

The latest photoetch release from Eduard for the Airfix 1/72 Canberra PR.9 is this set of landing flaps, set #72502. This set is pretty comprensive in not only the pieces they provide, but also showing exactly what needs to be removed.  These latest sets of flaps require a lot of folding, but thankfully not much gluing of individual pieces.  The "vanes" (or whatever you want to call them) are first folded "up" before being folded onto the interior piece of the flap.  Quite ingeniuos, actually.  You may have to provide a little bit of glue on the edges to be sure they stay down, but you won't have to glue these pieces individually.  That definitely makes things a little easier, if you think adding photoetch flaps to a kit easy.

Thanks to Eduard for the review set.
