Eduard 1/48 Bf109F-2 Weekend ZOOM Photo-Etch
By Jacob Russell
This 'Zoom' photo-etch set is for Eduard's Weekend Edition of their Messerschmitt Bf109F-2 kit. It consists of 46 parts on a single fret, most of which are pre-painted. This is surprisingly comprehensive for such a small set. It includes a new instrument panel, seat harness, rudder pedals, the chain for the landing gear retraction wheels, cockpit interior light, etc.
Additional items include a new face for the oil cooler, under wing radiator faces, a new canopy retention strap, rear fuselage reinforcement plates, mounts for the tropical filter, a new face for the oxygen regulator, etc.
Eduard's new Bf10F-2 is a great kit. It is accurate and well detailed right out of the box. If so inclined, you can go to town with Eduard's numerous Brassin and photo-etch sets, or you can keep things simple with this Zoom set. I recommend this PE set and I would like to thank Eduard for the review sample.
