Eduard set# 72501 is a set of photo-etched landing flaps for the new  Airfix kit of the Canberra B(I) 8 night intruder bomber/interdictor. This is a complex set. You are faced with the assembly of very small parts, the installation of some plastic rods within both halves of each flap, and the usual folding. You will also undertake some sanding of mating surfaces. All of these steps are outlined in the directions.

I do not have the donor kit to hand to gauge where the flaps are supposed to fit, but I think that if one takes one's time, and follows the instructions (imagine that!), the final product will be VERY convincing.

You will probably want to use a photo-etched folding tool, such as the Hold N' Fold, or Tamiya's photo-etch folding tweezers, to achieve the best results with this set.

I am a fan of the Canberra, and I think this set will greatly enhance the new Airfix kit. I would like to thank Eduard for providing the review sample.
