Master Model from Poland specializes in aftermarket turned-metal parts for model kits. In my personal option, they are among the best in the market; I really like their products.

This set is devoted to the German 2 cm L/65 Flak 38 and includes a turned-metal barrel and a flash suppressor. The set is very nicely detailed, capturing small details, even down to the holes on the side of the suppressor.

The instruction sheet clearly describes where to cut and how to modify the plastic part to receive the aftermarket detail part. It is a very easy task, and any modeler with a bit of experience modifying parts will run into no problems.

My sample suffered some minor damage during transit. However, it was easy to shape the flash suppressor back to its original size. I just used the tip of a toothpick and very gently rolled the piece back and forth until it rolled smoothly over a flat tile (any hard, flat surface would work).

Being a huge Iron Man fan, when I saw the new Dragon 1/24 scale kits, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on them. The kit that I was able to get for this review is the Mark 16 “Nightclub” armor kit from Iron Man 3.

Sadly, I have not had an opportunity to watch the movie, but I will say that being a fan of darker colors this is now my favorite set of armor worn by Iron Man. Opening the package, I was greeted with just a few parts: a head, two arms, two legs, two torso halves, and three base bits. This kit was gonna be insanely easy to build!

Finally, somebody has made figures for the helicopter models in 1/48 scale. Aero Line’s latest release is marketed as a Cobra crew. As far as I know there have been no previous US Army helicopter pilots available in this scale.

Packaged in a vacuformed shell, Aero Line has created two beautifully cast figures molded in light gray resin. The instructions are on the back of the insert card. There is no actual color callout, just the color profiles. The instructions show the flight suits in a Vietnam-era olive green like the two-piece flight suit of the time; however, with the way the figures are molded, you could easily modify them by removing the upper pants pockets and painting the flight suit in the sage green color of the one-piece and no one would be the wiser.
