Wellington Mk.1A/C Update sets, Wheels & Masks

1:72 Eduard for Airfix Kit

 

 

The new tool Wellington is welcome for those who build WWII British Aircraft, 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 (73639)

This set has one pre-painted fret, and one brass one. You get cockpit details, seat belts, instrument panels, and the other panels. There are parts for the turrets and many internal features. Frames are provided for the bomb aimers clear panel. New brake lines are provided for the main gear, along with internal panels for the bays. Balance horns are provided for the rudder and a new door for the tail wheel.

 

 

 

Zoom! Set (SS639)

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

 

 

Flaps Set (72672)

This set contains as the name would suggest a complete set of landing flaps for the aircraft. Some kit surgery will be needed to fit these.

 

 

 

Wheels (72672)

This Brassin set gives both main wheels and the tail wheel. A sheet of masks for the mains is also included (not shown)

 

 

 

 

Masks (CX518)

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