Big Ed - Eduard's Do-it-All Sets ...

Eduard - those remarkable Czechs who have all but revolutionized the customization and super-detailing of plastic model kits - have come up with a remarkable way to package up their goodies in one box. They call these packages "Big Ed" - and when you think about what they offer, they really are just about everything you need to super-detail your favorite model kits. As always with Eduard, the quality is second to none, the results all but unbelievable.

Big Ed - 1/72 B-17 F/G Flying Fortress/Academy Kit: This includes PE landing flaps, exterior detail, bomb bay, and self-adhesive pre-painted interior photo-etched parts to dress up your Academy kit.

Big Ed - 1/48 A6M5c Zero/Hasegawa Kit: What you need to detail the landing flaps, the interior and the kit in general. The Hasegawa kit is all but complete - but this Big Ed set took it to the next level.

Big Ed - 1/32 P-47D-20 Thunderbolt/Trumpeter Kit: This is one of the BIG Big Ed sets: it includes gun bays, exterior PE, engine details, wheel well details, self-adhesive cockpit placards and self-adhesive cockpit details ... for the ultimate Trumpeter Thunderbolt, this Big Ed can't be beat.

Big Ed - 1/38 Fw 190A-8/Hasegawa Kit: Eduard has done a number of Focke Wulf "Big Ed" sets - for their own remarkable series of Fw 190s as well as for those kits produced by competitors. This provides details, landing flaps and self-adhesive cockpit details for the Hasegawa kit. However, whichever Focke Wulf you're building, Eduard seems to have a Big Ed set for you.

This blog post will grow over time ... stay tuned, or contact me for critiques on specific Big Ed sets.
