F-5E Update sets, Seatbelts & Masks

1:32 Eduard for Kitty Hawk Kit

 

 

The new tool F-5E from Kitty Hawk was welcomed in this scale. 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.

 

 

Interior Set (32930)

This set has two pre-painted frets, and one brass one. You get cockpit details, instrument panels, and side panels. Parts for the seat, bulkheads, side panels, seat rails, rudder pedals, and many other smaller cockpit parts. For the nose equipment/gun bay you get some electrical boxes, interior parts and new flexible ammo feed chute, as well as a new PE panel if displaying this open.

 

 

 

Zoom! Set (33200)

This set contains a reduced subset of the interior set (the colour fret) 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.

 

 

Exterior Set (32426)

This set contains as the name would suggest parts for the aircraft exterior. This set is two sheets of PE. There are new parts for the landing gear bays, links and brake lines on the gear legs, and a new louvered cooling panel. For the exhaust there are fan parts and a complete new exhaust tube which will need to be rolled to shape.  There are new gear doors and pylon faces, as well as parts for the tanks or other external stores.

 

 

 

 

Seatbelts (33201)

This set contains one pre-painted fret.  There are seatbelts, in the now familiar steel material.
