Aires Hobby Models provides a variety of high quality resin products to upgrade, or correct, a variety of models in the most popular scales. They also have a line of crew and pilot figures in 1/72nd, 1/48th and 1/32nd scale. These figures are relatively inexpensive, and make a nice addition to an aircraft diorama, or to add a better since of scale to a finished model.

Aerobonus continues their series of pilot figures. This release is a 1/48^th version of Royal Australian Air Force Fighter pilot. The figure is posed standing wearing his flight gear, which includes khaki shorts, headgear, lifejacket, and his parachute. In addition, the pilot comes with the addition of being able to hold his oxygen hose and mask in his right hand, further enhancing the pose.

The UB-32A-24 rocket pod is a Soviet/Russian rocket pod designed for use on helicopters such as the Mi-8, Mi-24 and the Ka-29. The pod carries 32 unguided rockets that can be launched singly or in a salvo.

Aires Quickboost has released an easy replacement for the AMK 1/48 Aero L-29 Delfin that enhances the canopy rail. There are no instructions but it is a simple replacement for the kit part. If you have the older Planet Models 12448 resin model kit of the Aero L-29 Delfin, this set will probably work on it as well, although I do not have that kit to test fit.

Quickboost has molded the canopy rail perfectly in light tan resin with no apparent bubbles. The Quickboost canopy rail is supplied on one resin sprue with a thin resin attachment to the part that will minimize any cleanup.

Although most paints will adhere to resin alone, I would recommend that you wash this part to remove any remaining mold release and prime it first. This part will need to be installed with your favorite CA (super glue) or epoxy, as the normal plastic glues or solvents will not react with the resin.
