Platz 1/72 Platz Mitsubishi F-1 Interior Photoetch
By Matt Bittner
You know you've made it when other companies hire you to create product for them. This photoetch set from Platz for their 1/72 Mitsubish F-1 was made by Eduard specifically for Platz. This particular set sent is primarily for the interior, replacing cockpit pieces to better enhance the kit's cockpit.
You'll replace the instrument panel, side consoles and the sides of the ejection seat. There are replacement parts for the instrument panel coaming as well as the area behind the seat. Finally there are replacement antennas for the nose of the fuselage underside.
There are also pieces to add to provide more detail. Lower sidewall detail for the cockpit, seat belts for the ejection seat and other "bits and bobs" for the cockpit. You receive parts to add to the cockpit sill as well as the edges of the clear, canopy pieces (the part for the moveable canopy contains rear-view mirrors). In addition there are pieces to add to the nose gear and various circular hatches to add to the outside of the model.
This is an excellent addition to Platz's superb kit of the Mitsubishi F-1. If you're looking to add more detail to the kit then you'll definitely want to pick up this photoetch set from Platz.
My thanks to Platz for sending this to review.
