Wow thx for the comments guys. The PE makes me look good, but dont be fooled lol.

Greg, good luck with your next PE project, youll end up wishing you had 3 hands.

DrewH. Im addicted to the stuff so usually as soon as i buy a kit for my stash i buy the PE to go with it. I hate having to wait for anything. Its soo cool picking up your next project and having all the gear ready to go.

This is a great kit BTW with lots of lovely fine mouldings the only downer is the ammount of seems to fill. And im only on the fuz so far. Ill have wing roots and L and T edges next… Doh

I love it really.

What does PE meen in model terms?

Usually kits do not have PE (Photo Etched parts). Those are after market goodies.

here is an example:

and an addition (equivalent or even more enhanced details are made out of resin parts like those:

to add a lot of realism to the cockpit. It is a very valuable addition to the model especialy to some cheap models like Monogram

I hope it will help a bit. I went through hell trying to catch up with all of this few months ago [:D]
