FirstLook


Eduard has produced a range of accessories for the 2025-released ICM scale Henschel Hs 123 A kit.

Tonight I review three of Eduard's useful upgrades.

3DL32040 SPACE - Bf 109 G-5/6 Seat Belts for Airfix kit

 

 

Eduard has produced a number of SPACE upgrade sets for the rather spectacular

This first SPACE set under review comprises 3D printed decals for the harness straps.

Hardware - buckles, anchor points, adjustment loops and anti-chafing pads are moulded direct to the straps, making assembly a breeze. Half-tones and stitching is very clear in this large scale.

 

 

I have used SPACE sets on several of my projects and I have been very pleased with the results. The 3D printed decals look really good in real life - better than my much larger-than-life studio photos!

 

 

I found that the 3D decals barely needed to be wet at all before they would slide - or sometimes fall - off the backing sheet. I used Gator’s Grip acrylic glue to secure the 3D printed decals to the plastic kit parts.

 

 

Detailed instructions are included.

The next SPACE set under review focuses on the instrument panel of the Bf 109 G-5. A very similar set is also available for the Bf 109 G-6.

The set is made up from twelve 3d printed resin parts.

 

 

The sharpness and level of detail in this large scale really suits the Eduard SPACE option.

Eduard's photo-etched upgrade offers super detail with one colour photo-etched fret providing detail focused on the instrument panel.

 

 

The fret is packed full of detail.

 

 

This will be a very visible update for your big Airfix 1/24 scale Messerschmitt Bf 109 G-6.

 

 

Conclusion

 

The use of the photo-etched frets or the 3d printed SPACE package will result in a noticeably upgraded cockpit, especially for the instrument panel and harness straps.

These are very worthwhile investments for your Airfix 1/24 scale Bf 109 G-5/6 kit.

Thanks to Eduard for the review samples
