Cromwell Mk.IV Upgrade Set (36466 for Airfix)

1:35 Eduard

Airfix’s new kit is a nice one as long as the wrong number of bolts on the road wheels doesn’t bother you too much, so Eduard have created a new detail set that while it doesn’t include replacement bolts, helps to add more detail to other parts of the kit that would benefit from their attention.  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.

Inside is a fret of brass that contains lots of parts to add to your model.  There are mesh inserts that fit in the sides of the lower hull; two bullet-splash guards on the glacis; a pair of highly detailed replacement smoke generator boxes that are slung under the rear of the tank; lots of new and replacement grab-handles on the engine deck and elsewhere; a complete replacement pair of curved cooling guides at the rear of the engine deck that will require a little rolling to shape; tie-downs and shackles for the various pioneer tools and fire extinguisher; new bracket and handle for the searchlight on the turret; lots of new tie-down “handles” for the turret rear and a new backup gunsight for in front of the commander’s cupola.

 

Conclusion

You’ve probably got those wheels squared away by now if it bothers you, and this detail set will help with everything else.

 

Highly recommended.
