Thanks to Eduard for providing more of their excellent aftermarket parts for IPMS USA to review, and to IPMS leadership for sending it to me!

This set seriously improves the appearance and detail of Revell’s 1/72 halifax B III; consisting of all the requisite improvements for the landing gear bays, and a few sundry other bits and pieces like the aft fuselage between the tail turret and mainframe, plus details for the landing gear frames.

This set is simple to use and improves the kit exterior. Main gear bays are improved with front and aft bulhead details, stringers, and detailed sidewalls. The gear doors have interior lamentaitons added for detail, as well as positive-attachment hinges. I used thick superglue to attach everything on this set.

Using a curved #11 blade, I removed the necessary internal plastic details to be replaced as preparatory work.

A bit of folding and fettling is required for the frames, and while installing the gear door interiors you must be careful of alignment while the glue dries. Take your time, and everything fits.

Installing the framing, stringers, and bulkheads requires tweezers and superglue. Each part needs to have the attachment tabs cleaned off before installation.

Analysis: an excellent set! I have only recently learned to appreciate Eduard details, and these make the model come to life.

Thanks again to Eduard and IPMS leadership for bringing these sets to my door. The Halifax is one of my favorites, and this set made a difference in the final kit’s appearance!
