There are limitations to plastic molding that resin doesn’t have to worry about. Such is the case of the Italeri MG Magazine Drums. The kit items are nice but they lack the subtle detail on the sides and the handles. Well Quickboost recognized this and has provided us with two sets of magazines. The magazines have the detail perfectly rendered.

Perfectly molded in light grey resin these parts are simple to add to the kit. The detail parts will dress up the interior of the Stuka in an easy and effective way.

The Dragon/Revell Ta-154 Moskito is a twin engine aircraft that just begs for detail. One of the easiest things that can be done is to upgrade the exhausts. Now I don’t know about you but I suck at hollowing out exhaust stacks. I can’t even imagine doing it on 24 of them as least not what I would claim as my work.

Molded in light grey resin these exhausts are perfectly formed with hollowed out ends and realistic weld lines. They are drop in replacements for the kit items which are molded solid, not very realistic. The Quickboost exhausts are perfect and easily removed from the pour blocks. Simply remove, paint and weather and install.

Short History

USS Reuben James (FFG-57), an Oliver Hazard Perry-class guided missile frigate, is the third ship of the U.S. Navy named for Reuben James, a boatswain's mate who distinguished himself fighting the Barbary pirates.

Reuben James was born in Delaware, Ohio about 1776. He joined the Navy and served on various ships, including the frigate USS Constellation. During the Barbary Wars, the American frigate Philadelphia was captured by the Barbary pirates, when it ran aground in the city of Tripoli, on the southern shores of the Mediterranean Sea. Lieutenant Stephen Decatur, along with a group of volunteers that included Reuben James, entered the harbor of Tripoli under the cover of darkness in an attempt to burn the Philadelphia so that the pirates could not make use of her.
