Blenheim Mk.IF Photo-etch and Masks - Airfix Kit
1:72 Eduard

The Airfix kit was released last year while a great kit there is always room for some photo-etched upgrades.

Interior
The interior set provides a new part for the non clear section of the nose, seat belts, parts for the control columns, rudder pedals, instrument panels, and throttle levers; along with parts for the gunners seat and gun.

Exterior
As its name would suggest this fret contains many parts for the exterior. A multitude of inspection panels for the wings and fuselage are included, parts for the engine fronts, and aerials are provided. Most of the parts on this fret though are for the insides of the nacelles where the landing gear retracts into them, and parts for the landing gear legs.

Landing Flaps
As it says on the packet this set is to replace the landing flaps for the kit. Photo-etch will always do this more realistically in this scale than the kit parts. The webs are part of the main fret and twist round into place thus minimising the having to add small additional parts which the carpet monster is waiting to devour.

Masks
The mask set provides masks for the extensive glazing and wheels.

Conclusion
These frets should enhance an already good kit. Highly Recommended.
