ResKit has obviously spent some time designing their packaging to make a visual impact both from the outside of the box and then when opening it. The parts are capped on top and bottom with foam and each resin print has a cage around it in addition to major pieces also being in small plastic baggies. I assume the baggies are to catch any parts that might inadvertently come off during shipping. All the parts are finely detailed, and the only place I could find layer lines was on the very ends of the cargo platform, and they barely showed up under primer. It took me roughly 2 hours to detach all the parts from the print supports. The main cargo bed was definitely tricky to detach. I worked from the outside, meaning the longest supports, to the inside one layer at a time. I was able to cut the lower base plate in between the layers of supports. By doing that I was able to pry the layer up and twist it off without any damage to the cargo bed.

It’s not a marker…it’s not a brush…it’s the Missing Link! The ultimate solution for adding weathering effects to your models.

AMMO by Mig is proud to announce its new Missing Link Sets: Aircraft, Trains and Tanks. Per their website:

The new brush tip watercolor marker set from AMMO by Mig Jimenez represents an evolution in modeling tools. Designed for precision, versatility, and ease of use. This set of 12 transparent colors has been carefully selected to reproduce realistic effects on military vehicle models. With Missing Link Brush Tip markers, you can apply everything from filters to weathering effects on your models.

Scale Aircraft Conversions has developed a set of metal landing gear for the relatively new Airfix 1/72 B-24s. Airfix first released the B-24 H in 2024 and followed by the B-24D in 2025. The kit parts are stout but these metal replacements provide the opportunity for final adjustments and alignment of the gear and wheels. Airfix have addressed the shortcomings of previous B-24 designs by improving the front gear and arranging for solid mounting with 3 contact points. The old Minicraft and Academy kits have only one contact point and the Hasegawa only two. I have included photos of the parts without primer but this is only for clarity and to make it easier to differentiate the SAC gear from the necessary plastic parts. The casting blocks will need to be carefully clipped off and mold part lines cleaned up. Also test fit and adjust for the wheels you intend to use since this can be very awkward after the gear parts are mounted to the kit.
