Eduard FE491 Ta 152C 1/48 Dragon – Photo-Etched Parts for the Focke-Wulf Ta 152C Dragon 1/48 Scale Model

The Eduard FE491 set is an advanced collection of photo-etched components designed to enhance the plastic model of the Focke-Wulf Ta 152C in 1/48 scale by Dragon. The product is made from precisely cut thin brass sheet, allowing for an extraordinary level of detail, especially where the plastic kit parts lack sufficient intricacy.

The FE491 set includes elements for detailed cockpit representation, such as seat belts, color-printed instrument panels, rudder pedals, throttle levers, and other small details that are difficult to create from plastic. These additions significantly improve the final quality of the model, bringing it closer to a professional finish.
