Quarter scale accounts for the busiest part of the Big Ed range, and the reason is simple arithmetic: 1:48 gives detail large enough to work on comfortably while keeping a finished aircraft within normal cabinet dimensions. One package supplies etch for the cockpit and the exterior together with masks for the canopy, always cut for a single named boxing. Check the suffix in the set title against the maker of your own kit, because an etched fret only drops into the mouldings it was drawn around.
If the aircraft itself is still undecided, start with the choice under 1:48 aircraft kits. Builders who want to push a quarter-scale model further usually combine etch with resin castings from Big Sin 1:48 sets. The complete range across every scale is gathered under Big Ed.
