Eduard 73840 IAR-80 detail set IBG 1/72

The Eduard 73840 IAR-80 detail set IBG 1/72 is an invaluable offer for modeling enthusiasts looking to raise the realism of their models. This product is designed for the IAR-80 aircraft in 1/72 scale, released by IBG Models. The IAR-80 is a famous fighter plane produced and used by Romania during World War II. These aircraft formed the backbone of the Romanian fighter force, taking part in battles on the Eastern Front, including the Battle of Stalingrad and the defense of Romania's oil fields in Ploiești.

This set of photo-etched details is made from high-quality, thin brass sheet. It includes carefully replicated components such as:

• richly detailed instrument panel with color print
• fine cockpit details – switches, side console parts
• realistic pilot seatbelts
• external details – covers, clasps, service panels
• undercarriage components and other small structural details

Thanks to this set, the IAR-80 model gains remarkable depth and exceptional authenticity, especially regarding the cockpit interior and key external details. Eduard is renowned for precision and quality in detail replication, which is particularly important in the small 1/72 scale — every cut and emboss is reproduced as realistically as possible. This set does not include resin parts or a metal barrel – it is entirely made using photo-etching technology.
