Eduard 1/72 La-7 Weekend Photo Etch
By Jacob Russell
This Zoom photo etch set is for Eduard's "Weekend" boxing of their Lavochkin La-7 kit. It consists of 28 pieces on a single fret, some of which are pre-painted. The fret includes a new instrument panel, seat harness, oleo scissors, rudder pedals, throttle quadrant, etc. Additional items include a windscreen mirror, retraction arms for the inner landing gear doors, and various levers and switches for both cockpit sidewalls. Many of these parts are tiny, so I recommend that you use your Optivisor or preferred magnifying device, and that you remove the parts from the fret from within a clear plastic bag to prevent losing any!
Eduard's La-7 kit is a good, well detailed kit. This Zoom set adds useful detail to both the cockpit and airframe. I recommend this photo etch set and I would like to thank Eduard for the review sample.
