Why choose Eduard FE943?

The use of stainless steel and precise color printing ensures that the belts perfectly reflect the texture and color of the original. This is an ideal product for any modeler wishing to faithfully recreate the cockpit of the Tempest Mk. V. Photo-etched details are also a way to achieve a realistic effect with minimal effort – the set is especially recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers. The assembly difficulty is rated at 2/5 – assembly does not require specialized tools or experience with soldering or gluing metals, only basic modeling tools (e.g., scissors or a hobby knife and tweezers) are needed.

The FE943 set gives every Tempest Mk. V model a unique character and allows it to stand out among other miniatures. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants to enhance the realism of their model and be satisfied with a professionally finished cockpit effect.
