Eduard 48890 Super Etendard Exterior 1/48 KINETIC MODEL – Photo-etched Set for the Model

The Eduard 48890 Super Etendard Exterior 1/48 photo-etched set is specifically designed to upgrade the plastic model of the Super Etendard by KINETIC in 1:48 scale. This product allows you to greatly enhance the level of detail and realism of the replica of the French carrier-borne attack aircraft, known from operations by the French Navy (Marine Nationale) and the Argentine Air Force among others.

The Super Etendard is an aircraft with an exceptionally rich history. It entered service at the end of the 1970s and made its combat debut during the Falklands War in 1982, when Argentine aircraft gained notoriety by sinking the British destroyer HMS Sheffield with Exocet missiles. The aircraft continued in service for decades, utilizing its capabilities in numerous conflicts up until its retirement between 2010 and 2016, representing both the Cold War era and modern times.

The Eduard 48890 set is made from high-quality photo-etched metal, ensuring extremely precise detail and durability. The set contains a number of enhancements and replacements for the external details of the model, such as flaps, service panels, undercarriage details, covers, antennas, and other elements of the fuselage and wings, which greatly exceed the detail level of the standard plastic parts from the base Kinetic kit. Each photo-etched part is precisely designed for dimensional compatibility with the model, allowing experienced modelers to significantly increase the realism of their replica.
