By Matt Bittner

The "full" photoetch set from Eduard for the 1/72 Hobby Boss Rafale C is set #73 359.  It includes the same fret found in their single Zoom set (SS359) plus an extra fret with more interior and exterior detail.The Zoom piece that comes with set #73 359 consists of one pre-colored fret of photoetch.  Parts for the ejection seat includes a new back rest with belts, a shoulder harness, lap belts and other parts for the headrest .  There are also pieces to dress up the HUD (including a clear piece of film) and a three-part instrument panel.  The cockpit tub also receives enhancement from the photoetch set including parts for the side consoles, backrest, etc.  Finally, there are photoetch pieces to dress up the canopy.

The "extra" photoetch fret contains primarily external pieces for the Rafale.  Pieces for the wing-tip rails, vents on the fuselage, parts for the landing gear and landing gear doors, pieces to dress up the jet exhausts, extra pieces for the nose and finally replacement fins for the kit's plastic missiles.

If you want to add more than just interior photoetch to the 1/72 Hobby Boss Rafale C then this fuller set is what you need.  Plenty of external additions to really enhance the out-of-the-box model.

My thanks to Eduard for the review photoetch.
