Historical overview of the Fairey Fulmar Mk. I aircraft:

The Fairey Fulmar Mk. I is a British carrier-based fighter produced during World War II for the Royal Navy's needs. It was mainly used by the Fleet Air Arm, including in operations during the Battle of the Mediterranean, operations in Malta, and in the Indian Ocean between 1940–1945. Although this aircraft lagged behind more modern fighters in terms of performance, it was distinguished by a two-person crew and high durability, which proved valuable for reconnaissance and escort missions.

Contents of the Eduard BIG49402 set:

• Photo-etched parts – allowing for detailed reproduction of cockpit elements, instrument panel, pedals, and other small parts that are difficult to replicate in plastic.
• Steel seatbelts (part FE1410) – top quality, closely mimicking the appearance and arrangement of seatbelts used in authentic Fulmars.
• Painting masks (EX999 TFace) – enable exceptional precision when painting the cockpit transparencies and wheels, making it much easier to achieve perfect color separation.

Technical properties and target group:

All components of the set are made from high-quality photo-etched metal and stainless steel; the masks are made from professional modeler's foil with excellent adherence to the model's surface. Eduard BIG49402 is recommended for advanced modelers who expect both realistic detail and the satisfaction of detailed work. Difficulty level: 4/5.
