P-51D Mustang Resin Updates (for Eduard)

1:48 Eduard Brassin

 

 

You can always add more details to any kit, and the Eduard kit is no exception and Eduard are on the ball with a few additional Brassin sets containing some impressively crisp resin.

 

Exhaust Stacks (648485)

A new set of resin exhausts for your kit with additional detail and well-defined hollow tips that are a straight forward drop-in replacement for the kit parts.

 

 

 

 

 

Wheels – Oval Tread (648503)

We reviewed most of the tread types here recently, but this one slipped through, so here it is.  You get two resin main wheels with deeply recessed hub details, separate sopked hub caps, a tail-wheel and a set of kabuki tape masks to simplify painting.

 

 

 

 

 

Hamilton Standard Propeller Cuffed & Uncuffed (648487 & 648488)

Each set consists of the four blades, detailed rear spinner and spinner cone, the central hub with keyed openings to insert the blades, short axle, and small sheet of tiny Photo-Etched (PE) circles to fit to the recess in the tip of the spinner, and you get three in case you lose a couple.  To ensure that the blades are set to the correct angle a small jig is included that holds the boss while you glue each prop blade in place with super glue.  Choose the appropriate set for cuffed or uncuffed, and remember to have a 2mm drill to deepen the hole in the back of the boss to 5.3mm.
