Editpuard 1/72 Spitfire Mk.XVI Landing Flaps
By Jacob Russell
This set is a pair of landing flaps for Eduard's Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XVI kit. 22 parts comprise this set. It is complex, for such a small set, especially given it is in 1/72nd scale. You will have to remove the kit flaps and replace them entirely with the PE parts. You will also have to supply several lengths of 0.3mm wire and 0.5mm plastic rod. The end result will be spectacular, just be prepared to take your time. And make sure that you have an Optivisor or magnifying device, photo-etch scissors and a good folding tool.
Eduard's 1/72nd scale Supermarine Spitfire kits have been well received by the modeling community. They are accurate and well detailed. You can build them right out of the box and be quite happy with the results, or you can upgrade the kit contents with detail sets like this. I recommend this set and I would like to thank Eduard for the review sample.
