This resin and photo etch set from Eduard is part of the Brassin series and is available directly from Eduard Model Accessories. This set includes three MER (Multiple Ejector Racks) in 1/32 scale. The
MER (Multiple Ejection Rack) and TER (Triple Ejection Rack) were developed
to permit aircraft to increase the number of weapons they could carry.
These MERs were used from the mid 1960's onward on a variety of aircraft
from the A-6 up to and including the B-52. Each rack can hold 6 bombs,
so using these will permit you to serious increase the loadout on your
strike aircraft.
This resin set includes:
3 complete MER (Multiple
Ejector Racks) 75 resin parts 4 photo etch parts decals for stencils and
markings There are 4 pages of
instruction in the usual line drawing format that Eduard is famous for and which
are so easy to follow. The instructions also include painting
instructions.
You will be
required to fold the photoetch in this set, but if you have one of the
Hold & Fold photo etch benders from The
Small Shop, then this will be an
easy process. They have a variety of benders for sharp corners as
well as rounded corners and in many different sizes.
The number of parts and level of detail makes each of the MER a model in itself. As you can see in the photos this set has layers upon layers of small resin parts to assemble to hold the bombs. You will also be adding tiny pieces of wire which you will need to bend correctly to get the correct look and fit. With patience and careful attention to the instructions you will be richly rewarded with MER's that will better fill out your model and give it quite the impressive weapons load. You can buy this detail set and thousands of other items directly from Eduard Model Accessories. Images in this article are by Eduard Model Accessories. Steve Bamford
