Jet canopy frames feature rear view mirrors. Most kits don’t include these parts as they are too difficult to do in plastic. The KP/Smer Su-25 is one of those kits. Luckily Quickboost recognized this and provides you with this set.

Packaged in the typical Quickboost packaging this small set includes three mirrors. They are easily removed from the pour stub. Then it is just a matter of painting them and sticking them on the canopy framework. Simple, easy and effective upgrade for a small price.

Highly recommended

The F-16 is one of the sexiest aircraft ever made. The early aircraft were even more impressive before all of the bumps and bulges were added to later variants.

Like Salma Hayek in ‘From Dusk to Dawn’ the only way to make it even sexier is to wrap it in a snake. The Italians did this in April 2010 at Cervia AB, Italy. Sure it is a special paint scheme but what a great marking option. The aircraft itself is only painted in two colors FS36231 and FS36118 which makes for a pretty dark aircraft but add to that the bright yellow, purple and black Viper to it just makes it awesome.

Inside a 6x9 inch, zip lock bag is a double-sided high-quality paper printed in full-color instructions. The instructions show all four sides of the actual aircraft, along with the drop tank markings.

Roden’s 0-1 was developed “Under the radar” for many of us; we learned in early announcements of its forthcoming release, and due to world events were concerned that we might never see the kit released. However, the kit has finally appeared, and we now have a large-scale bird dog in hand.
