MSRP: $74.95 Website: www.eduard.cz Eduard has combined five of its individual photo etch sets to make the 1/32 scale "Big Ed" Set for the Trumpeter SBD-5. The sets included are: JX074- Masking Set for the SBD-4/5 32192- Engine Set for the SBD-5 32199- SBD-5 Exterior set 32614- SBD-5 Rear Interior Self Adhesive 32615- SBD-5 Front Interior Self Adhesive The masking set is superb and with all that glass, is a needed extra in my book. What it saves in time makes up for the cost easily. And with the two interior sets, the detail really pops. The interior parts include preprinted and colored instrument panels for both the back and front cockpits and tons of other levels and details. The exterior set includes multi-piece parts for the landing gear covers and detailed parts for the wheel wells, bomb fins, cooling flaps and much, much more. The last set details the engine and includes a ton of parts for the engine and firewall. Buying the big Ed set will greatly enhance an already nice kit and buying it together saves you a good deal of money buying the parts separately. My thanks to Eduard for such a great set.
