Hobby has released a new photo
etch set for the H-19 (S-55).
This photo etch set was manufactured
by Eduard and is consistent with the high quality pre-painted photo etch sets made
by Eduard these days.
This set adds detail to the
following areas:
The 3 pages of line drawing
instructions are
easy to follow and are your typical Eduard instruction sheets, so you will have
no problem following the assembly sequence when using this set. The
pre-painted instrument panels in this set are so tiny (this is 1/72 after all),
but they are so wonderfully and flawlessly painted. Each tiny dial is
clearly visible and readable. The cockpit instrument panel is a 2 piece
affair with the pre-painted gauges going behind the pre-painted
instrument bezels. Compared to the kit parts this set is a big
improvement. You also get pre-painted seatbelts.....which are equally
beautiful. Plus a bunch of other parts for detailing the exterior of your
H-19.
If you do decide to add the photo
etch wiper blades to the windshield.....remember that fumes from CA glue will fog the
windshield, so coat your windshield in Future before you use the CA glue to avoid this
problem......or don't use CA glue to attach the Photo Etch parts to the
windshield.

Hobby has
come out with a very good set for the H-19 and this is definitely worth picking
up when you build a 1/72 H-19 as it adds some very critical detail to some very
prominent areas on the H-19.
You can buy this set
directly from the Platz
Hobby website.
I'd like to thank Platz
for the review sample.
