Hauler, of The Czech Republic, produces high quality photo-etched sets for AFVs, airplanes, cars, railway vehicles, resin accessories for dioramas, and resin kits. The subject of this review is a Farmer's cart.

These hand carts were typically used on small farms and in villages throughout Europe. There are examples of similar type hand carts still in use today in the United States, principally by the Amish.

The eight parts are cast in light gray resin. The wood grain of the floor and sides of the farmer's cart is nicely rendered. The detail on the two spoked wheels is somewhat lacking but the metal rims are a nice touch. The only flash, on my review example, was on those spoked wheels. But a hobby knife or small file will solve that problem.

Coastalkits from the UK has produced a line of model display bases in various designs, shapes and scales from grass airfields to modern hardscapes. This particular design is a replica of the join line between an asphalt and concrete light line and taxiway in a circular cutout. The diameter is 300 mm (about 11&3/4 inches) and is suitable for small to medium sized 1/72 scale aircraft.

The resolution of the printing is excellent, and provides a realistic setting as an added presentation touch for your latest masterpiece at contests, or in your display case at home. The artboard core of the base makes for a lightweight addition to your contest take-along accessories that will make your model stand out from those that are simply placed on top of the standard entry paperwork.

Eduard has issued a four-bladed resin propeller to upgrade the propeller in their SE.5a kit. The upgraded propeller includes resin and photoetch parts with much finer detail than the kit propeller.

The Royal Aircraft Factory SE.5 was introduced in 1917 with a 150 HP V8 Hispano-Suiza 8A engine with two-bladed counter-clockwise (left) rotating propeller. The SE.5a was an improved version of the SE.5 and was one of the fastest fighters of WWI. The SE.5a aircraft was originally produced with a 200 HP Hispano-Suiza 8B gear-driven engine (‘Hisso’), with a counter-clockwise (left) rotating four-bladed propeller. The gear-driven engines proved unreliable, and were quickly replaced with the 200 HP Wolsely Viper direct drive engine with clockwise rotating (right) two-bladed propeller.
