Eduard 1/72 Airfix EF F.2A Lightning Zoom Photoetch
By Matt Bittner
Zoom Photoetch sets from Eduard are known for not only their smaller size – and less amount of detail – but also they're mainly for the interior of the subject. That is definitely the case with this set for the Airfix EF F.2A Lightning (#SS500).
You receive a lot of detail for the ejection seat which is actually nice: seat belts and shoulder harnesses, ejection handles, etc. will really make the seat look much better than what the kit provides. In addition the Zoom set includes a replacement instrument panel (the usual two-piece affair Eduard piece) along with a lot of detail for the cockpit tub. Finally there is detail to add to the area in front of the pilot as well.
This is the perfect set to add just enough detail to make the cockpit a busier and nicer looking piece than what's provided in-the-box.
My thanks to Eduard for the review Zoom set.
