The new 1/350 aircraft sets from Trumpeter
have some really amazing detailing for plastic. As nice as it is, it can
always be better. One way to add more detail is to use this set from White
Ensign Models to add new flaps, weapons hardpoints, and a scale size ejection
seat. |
The set is relief etched and you can even make out the
instruments panels and control stick. The ejection seats feature relief
etching and have the folding points relief etched. The seats are designed
to work in conjunction with parts of the plastic seats. A new landing gear
and a tail hook are included as well as the gear doors. |

The instructions are well written and well illustrated.
They show the various parts and how they assemble and work with the kit
parts.

Conclusions:
This is an excellent photo etch set for the die hard 1/350 aircraft modeler.
You may go insane trying to apply the little details, but if you plan on
showing your aircraft with the canopy open, then you really need to get
this set. |
