Let’s face it, ejection seats in kits usually leave something to be desired. Usually, the culprits are the lack of seat belts or just the limitation of the plastic molding process. The ejection seat is also the most visible part of the interior, either with the canopy open or closed.

It sure would be nice to have a well-detailed seat in your Hun. Quickboost provides just that – a perfectly detailed seat complete with seatbelts and shoulder harness. It is easy enough to remove the resin pour block. My example was perfectly cast in light grey resin. It is perfect and just needs a coat of paint to bring it alive. It is an easy addition to either your Trumpeter or Monogram Hun.

Easy installation, perfectly cast, and highly detailed...what more can you ask for? Absolutely nothing. Another great product from Quickboost. Remember if you are doing an F-100F you will need two seats.

Highly recommended.

Thanks to Quickboost and IPMS/USA for the review copy.

Based upon the Grant/Sherman tank, the M7 Priest was a self-propelled howitzer with a high-mount machine gun ring resembling a pulpit. It was utilized by the US, British, Canadian, and Free French forces. This book tells the complete story from design and development to deployment. In addition, this book covers all variants of the Priest, including the British/Canadian Sexton 25-pounder version and the US M12 155mm GMC.

I found the book to be well thought out with a very coherent outline. It’s written with easy to understand explanations. It has beautiful color paintings, cutaway artwork, and is packed with a wide range of period b&w photographs.

The book itself is well printed with a hearty gum binding. The print is easy to read and the photographs are very clear. The artwork and cutaway illustrations are colorful and honestly represented. The maps and charts are rendered so that any layperson can understand them.

Many, many thanks to Mr. Hideyuki Shigeta for honoring me with the privilege of building the Super Wing Series He 219 Uhu (Eagle Owl) model kit for public review as an IPMS Reviewer Corps representative. I am deeply appreciative of the trust and confidence shown in me by both Mr. Shigeta and the IPMS Reviewer staff. I am delighted to report on the next stage of construction: the cockpit.
