Eduard 1/48 Spitfire Mk.IXc Late Weekend Photo Etch
By Jacob Russell
This photo etch set from Eduard (item number 49674) is for their Spitfire Mk.IXc late Weekend kit. It consists of 23 pieces on a single per-painted fret. It includes a new instrument panel, seat harness, compass face, and a control column gun firing trigger. Additional items include a new carburetor intake screen, lower wing antenna mast, cockpit door opening mechanism, and disc wheel faces. Eduard's instruction sheet is legible, clearly illustrated and easy to follow.
Eduard's new series of Spitfire Mk.IX kits are superb, accurate, and well detailed right out of the box. They have released a series of Brassin Spitfire sets in addition to the usual p/e sets and canopy masks. This set is perfect for a relaxing build if you are basically happy with the kit out of the box and prefer to make minor enhancements.
I recommend this set and I would like to thank Eduard for providing the review sample.
