Eduard 1/72 EE F.2A Lightning Self Adhesive Photo Etch
By Jacob Russell
This photo-etch set from Eduard (item number 73 500) is for Airfix's new English Electric F.2A kit. It consists of 86 pieces on 2 frets, one of which is self adhesive and pre-painted. The self adhesive fret includes items such as a new instrument panel, ruder pedals, seat belts, detail bits for the ejection seat, cockpit side consoles, and inner air brake warning placards.
The second fret includes detail parts for the canopy, oleo scissors, brake lines, air intake cover, inner air brake door detail parts, various fuselage and upper spine aerials, etc.
I like this set, and I recommend it. Airfix's new Lightning kit is the best mainstream injection molded kit on the market. It is inexpensive and it is also quite accurate. Eduard's new photo-etch parts will help you produce a very nice model. I would like to thank Eduard for the review sample.
