Eduard 73859 - 1:72 Spitfire Mk.II

Eduard 73859 photo-etched parts – Spitfire Mk.II in 1:72 scale (Airfix)

The Eduard 73859 set provides detailed photo-etched parts for the Airfix Spitfire Mk.II kit in 1:72 scale. It includes both pre-coloured and unpainted parts for the cockpit – such as instrument panels, seatbelts and sidewall details – along with external fittings like grilles, handles and small surface elements. This upgrade brings greater depth, precision and realism to the model, accurately representing the famous British fighter of the early war period.

Photo-etched parts are one of the most popular accessories for plastic model kits.

Their production technology allows extremely small and delicate details that cannot be achieved with injection-moulded plastic. They are often used as a highly realistic alternative for instrument panels, brackets, mounts, intake meshes and other fine structures. In short-run kits they may form an essential part of the build. Photo-etched parts often require careful bending along etched lines to achieve the correct shape.
