MSRP: $14.00 Website: www.eduard.cz Note: this is really one of three related reviews -- see also: Nose & Aft Fuselage Exterior, Bomb Bay, and finished product Well, this is gonna be about the SHORTEST review I've done. That's because this set is basically an instrument panel and a few radio boxes, all with self-adhesive cement applied to the back. Nothing needs to be expounded on where Eduard's pre-painted instruments and control boxes are concerned… They are the industry standard! Two-part panel; cut out the overlay, press over the backing while keeping the instruments centered, and you are done. The control boxes: cut off and place the overlay parts firmly on the flat box and press down, cut out the box, fold to shape, and superglue in place.

I am using this set on my Monogram 1/48 B-24J, using the now-defunct Cutting Edge/Meteor B-24 Ford nose correction conversion I purchased when the NATS were here in OKC. I am waiting for the rest of the Eduard B-24 interior stuff to arrive; when it does, I'll finish this kit up. Aires B-24 engines, Bill Koster's excellent turret details, metal guns, and clear parts (purchased many moons ago), Squadron Vac canopy for the cockpit, and Squadron Wheel set… along with a bit of time… then we'll see how the PYN decals behave after I finish the beast up. Back to the Eduard parts: Another fine effort for sprucing up the 'pit… Well done Eduard, keep them coming! Thanks to Eduard for providing IPMS the set!
