This set is dedicated to aircraft modeling enthusiasts who wish to faithfully recreate the details of the historic bomber, with exceptional attention to the intricacies of all key components of the construction.

The product belongs to the category of photo-etched accessories for plastic models. It consists of three sets of photo-etched plates, including:

• a complete bomb bay equipment set (cat. no. 481094),
• a full set of detailed landing gear and wheel bay doors (cat. no. 481096),
• a precisely detailed main landing gear set (cat. no. 481095).

This set allows the modeler to accurately reproduce unique elements of the bomber, such as details of the bomb suspension system, the shapes and perforations of the doors, as well as complex landing gear mechanisms. The photo-etched metal parts are characterized by exceptional durability, detail precision, and ease of adaptation to plastic model components.

The Bristol Beaufort Mk. I is a British bomber and torpedo aircraft, produced during World War II mainly for the Royal Air Force (RAF) and the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). It served over the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, and during operations in the Pacific theater. It gained recognition for successful torpedo missions against fleet vessels and supply ships in the years 1940–1945.

This set is recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who value faithful representation of the structure and realistic details. The recommended assembly difficulty level is 4/5, due to the challenging work with delicate photo-etched parts.

We highly recommend this product to all historical modeling enthusiasts who appreciate authenticity and high-quality workmanship. The Eduard BIG49361 set is a well-thought-out and valuable extension for the Beaufort Mk.I model, guaranteeing a unique final effect and the satisfaction of building an advanced 1/48 scale model.
