Ki-61-Id Upgrade sets & Masks

1:72 Eduard for Tamiya

 

 

The new tool from Tamiya is welcome. Eduard are now along with some sets for it.  Get what you want for the areas you want to be more of a focal point.  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.

 

 

Update Set (73637)

Two frets are included, one nickel plated and pre-painted, the other in bare brass.  A complete set of new instrument panels that will be prominent within the cockpit are the primary parts on the painted set, with new rudder pedals; seat details; canopy internal structure; additional instruments;  seat belts and extra details. The normal fret contains gear doors, radiator parts, and landing gear parts.

 

 

 

Zoom! Set (SS637)

This set contains a reduced subset of the interior, namely the pre-painted parts that are used to improve on the main aspects of the cockpit, as seen above.  Whatever your motivations for wanting this set, it provides a welcome boost to detail, without being concerned with the structural elements.

 

 

 

Masks (CX516)

Supplied on yellow kabuki tape, these pre-cut masks supply you with a full set of masks for the canopy.  In addition you get a set of hub/tyre masks for the main and tail wheels, allowing you to cut the demarcation perfectly with little effort, plus a landing light mask.
