Eduard 1/72 Airfix Tiger Moth Photoetch
By Matt Bittner
Airfix's new 1/72 Tiger Moth is an excellent kit that will definitely be considered the best kit of that subject. While out-of-the-box the kit provides decent amount of detail, naturally most kits – especially main-stream injected plastic kits – can be enhanced. This "full" photoetch set from Eduard (#73 502) will definitely provide a higher level of detail than that provided just in the kit alone.
Naturally most of the detail centers around the cockpits. There is full sidewall detail to add, belts for both seats, rudder pedals to replace the kit ones and replacement two-part instrument panels for both cockpits. For the outside you receive replacement – and more too-scale – control horns for the rudder and stabs along with additional items for the landing gear, a hose for the overwing radiator, etc. Plenty of parts to add an additional layer of detail to the stock Airfix kit.
I definitely want to thank Eduard for allowing me to review this photoetch set.
