Eduard continues their releases for H-K Models' 1/32 B-25 with an exterior upgrade set which addresses several areas. These include the engine with new wiring to the spark plugs, a crankcase placard, and detailed guards above the cylinders. The wheel wells get detailed with the new bulkheads for the main gear and inside detail for the nose gear door. Lastly, the cowlings get interior detail on the inside of the cooling flaps and doors, as well as detail on the framing.

This set consists of two frets of non-colored PE which have excellent relief. Most of the parts, such as interior door, cooling flap interiors, bulkheads, and engine placard, require no kit modifications. I simply bent the part to shape by pressing and super glued them in place. There were then painted, washed, and dry brushed.

The engine harnesses are to be folded, and then replace the kit parts. The only issue I see with these is that they are flat. To make them more realistic, a coating of thick paint would give them some depth and roundness. Lastly, the bulkheads above the cylinders need to be cut off and sanded and the parts folded, but add nice relief to the part.

This is another excellent set which, if you are going to leave the engine covers off, is a must-have. It provides needed detail and accuracy versus the kit parts, makes the wheel wells look complete, and provides depth to the smooth plastic parts. My thanks to Eduard and IPMS/USA for the chance to review this latest release.
