1:35 Eduard

 

 

Kinetic have recently released a new kit of the Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle in 1:35, and this set has been patterned on that kit, which we're hoping to have in for review shortly.  As usual with Eduard's Photo-Etch (PE) and Mask sets, they arrive in a flat resealable package, with a white backing card protecting the contents and the instructions that are sandwiched between.

 

The parts are presented on a single fret of bare brass, and many of the parts are used to replace the moulded-in handles, brackets and other small parts that are best done with PE.  A number of these parts are used on the rear passenger door; the stowage bins; sloped sections of the aft deck, which have endless tie-downs and clasps/latches for the pioneer tools that are also upgraded to remove the chunky styrene attachment points; mesh panels over the engine radiator panel and optics; ten long tie-down straps for external stowage, of which there is often a considerable amount due to the internal layout, and another blizzard of tie-downs.
