The Eduard 1:72 Tornado IDS/GR.Mk.1 photo-etched detail set comprises precision-engineered modeling accessories, specifically designed to super-detail plastic aircraft models in 1/72 scale, particularly those released by Revell.
This advanced set, created by the renowned manufacturer Eduard, allows you to significantly elevate the detail level of your model by introducing elements impossible to replicate with standard plastic parts. It is an ideal solution for modelers striving for maximum realism and a perfect reproduction of aircraft details.
Key Applications & Compatibility
The primary purpose of this set is to enhance Tornado fighter-bomber models. The photo-etched parts are fully compatible with the following 1/72 scale variants, available in the Revell range:
Tornado IDS (Interdictor/Strike)
Tornado GR.Mk.1 (Ground Attack/Reconnaissance Mark 1)
This set enables precise reproduction of fine details such as cockpit components, air intake grilles, seatbelts, or access panels, which are often simplified or completely omitted in plastic models.
Key Technical Features & Materials
The included photo-etched parts boast incredibly high levels of detail, achieved through precise chemical etching technology. Made from thin metal, they make ideal replacements for their plastic counterparts, offering superior detail sharpness and a more realistic appearance. The durability of the metal ensures the longevity of the added components.
Set Contents
The package contains a set of photo-etched parts, a detailed list and appearance of which are presented in the accompanying preview images. Each part has been designed for easy integration with the existing model structure, while delivering a significant visual upgrade.
Assembly Recommendations
For securely attaching metal photo-etched parts to the plastic model and to each other, we recommend using specialized cyanoacrylate (CA) glue, commonly known as 'super glue'. An alternative method, ensuring a very strong and durable bond, is soldering. Both techniques allow for precise and stable attachment of details.
Potential for Further Enhancement
If you are interested in further enhancing your model or other modeling projects, we encourage you to explore the wide range of super-detailing elements available in our catalog. Among these, you will find metal barrels, individual track links, metal towing cables, and tank crew figures, which can dramatically elevate the realism and aesthetic appeal of your miniature.
