PART 1/72 WWI Photo-Etched detail sets Introduction
Two new WWI detail sets from PART have arrived this month. This time
around we have their sets for the Mac Pfalz D.III/IIIa and the Roden Gotha.
The Gotha in particular is a most spectacular set and will really dress
up this much awaited kit.
Pfalz D.III/IIIa
S72-154
Everything from cockpit frames to wing radiators, control horns,
Spandau jackets etc are included on this set for the Mac Pfalz D.III.
I trust that the parts can also be used in the other Pfalz D.III
kits that are out there.

Gotha G.II/III
S72-150 A kit that has been long been wished for is a 1/72 Gotha, last year Roden released one, and now PART has come through with a photo-etched detail set to dress up the Gotha G.II or G.III. Take a look at the number of parts in the scans and you get an idea as to what they will look like when done. Where applicable the parts are relief etched.
A quick look shows that there are fuselage frames, control panel,
wheels, bomb racks. However a neat idea, which I have yet to see
tried, are the termination points for the interplane rigging (all
those little thingies in the top scan). These are designed to fit
beneath/above the strut and are then bent to the proper angle and
rigging is affixed to them.
Also included is a sheet of film for the cockpit cellon panels and windscreen. Detailed instructions are provide in the form of illustrations included. These are among the clearest I have yet seen. |  |  | My thanks to PART for the review samples. PART detail sets are available from JADAR Model. |
