Eduard 1/48 Sea Fury FB.11 Interior
By Jacob Russell
This new photo-etch set is Eduard's interior set for the Airfix Sea Fury FB.11 kit. It consists of 66 parts on 2 frets, one of which is partially pre-painted, and an acetate sheet containing 4 gun sight lenses. The latter fret includes an instrument panel, side consoles, throttle quadrant, control stick gun firing trigger, map case, etc.
The other fret includes a new seat, cockpit floor, canopy head armor, canopy slide rails, lower sidewall details, and other enhancements.
Airfix's new Sea Fury kit supercedes the earlier kits from Trumpeter (shallow cockpit, shape problems), Hobbycraft (simplified details, shape problems), War Eagle, and Falcon (both are nice kits, if you like vacuforms). It is accurate and well detailed. Eduard's PE set takes the cockpit detail to another level. I like the Airfix kit, and I like Eduard's interior set for it. I recommend this photo-etch set and I would like to thank Eduard for the review sample.
