Tochka (SS-21 Scarab) Update Sets (for Hobby Boss)

1:35 Eduard

 

 

Shortly after the release by Hobby Boss of this new kit (review), here come the updates from Eduard, split between interior and exterior sets so you can choose either or both to suit your needs or budget.  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 (36404)

Arriving on two sheets of PE, one of which is nickel-plated and colour printed, it contains a complete set of instruments for the driver and operator of the complex equipment needed to launch the missile; with a skin for the floor; pedal box with heel cup and other controls; equipment boxes; windscreen sun visors; fire extinguisher racks; individual knobs, switches and grab-handles on the equipment; a complete re-surfacing of the main missile control panels, and other small parts that transform the interior into a much busier, more detailed affair.

 

 

 

 

Exterior (36405)

Consisting of a single large fret, it has a set of six detailed wheel well inner skins with ribbed surface; crew step rings for the front tyres; light cages at the front and extended hoods at the rear; a complete reworking of the pioneer tools with new clasps and brackets; windscreen wipers and small parts on the front; brackets, hatches and grilles on the sides; a replacement rear platform, grab handles and so forth on the rest of the hull.  Some small areas will need to be removed on the sides, and you will need a few lengths of 0.3mm, 0.6mm and 1mm rod to complete the job properly, so ensure you have some in stock before you begin.
