I am just getting back into modeling after a long hiatus. While going through a catalog I noticed after-market detail parts from Eduard that are labeled as ZOOM photo-etch parts. Can anyone tell me what the difference is between these and any other photo-etch? Thanks!
First, welcome to the forum, gawrycht.
For aircraft, Eduard’s Zoom sets are basic detail parts, mostly dealing with the cockpit. . These usually contain seat harnesses, instrument panel w/ film negative instruments, and a few other misc. parts. They are a good bargain for dressing up a cockpit.
Hope this helps ! And welcome back to the hobby.
Tom, the Eduard ZOOM sets are just normal photo etch but they are like a “condensed” version of Eduard’s full sets. They concentrate on cockpit detail like belts, instrument panel, etc. They also contain a few parts for external detail like surface detail in the gear bays or flaps etc. Look for the “coloured” ZOOM sets, they have some very nicely painted details on the belts etc. They look great.

Welcome to FSM Tom.
On the armour side of things … a Zoom set would include things like brush guards, and not much more.
