Eduard 1/48 Ju 88A-4 Zoom PE
By Jacob Russell
This Zoom set is for ICM's new Junkers Ju 88A-4 kit. It consists of 71 pieces, most of which are pre-painted, on a single photo etch fret. There is also a small sheet of clear acetate that contains a pair of dial faces. This is a very comprehensive set. Most of the parts are devoted to the cockpit. You get a new instrument panel, new radio faces, cocking handles for the machine guns, gun sights, and a number of boxes, switches, throttle quadrants, etc. for the cockpit sidewalls.
The radio faces are some of the most impressive parts of this set. The detail has to be seen to be believed. Eduard does a fantastic job of printing minuscule detail on some very small items.
ICM's Ju 88 kits have been well received. They are reasonably accurate and well detailed. But there are very real limits to injection molding technology, and this set addresses this with lots of small details to liven up the cockpit.
I recommend this set and I would like to thank Eduard for the review sample.
