Well today we have a nice touch for your next A-7 Corsair build project. I think a picture is worth a thousand words. I can only add that these red and green resin pieces are flawless and look great. I usually use a red and green ‘Sharpie’ to color my position lights but I now see how much better these lenses are. They might be a bit pricey for most budget minded modelers but if you want the best I recommend these over a Sharpie any day.

This set is recommended for the Hobby Boss kit. I would like to thank IPMS and Aires/Quickboost for the sample.

A figure always adds a nice “human” touch to a finished model, and usually modelers’ choices are limited to combat troops for AFVs and infantry. If you wanted a driving figure for your truck or lorry, you had to cope with the usually sub-par “sit and stare ahead” type figure in the kit. Not any longer! MiniArt has released a set of great driver figures in a variety of poses, including a traditional sitting/driving figure. Most of these are already in poses of interaction, so are perfect for dioramas or stand alone additions to a finished model.

Comprising of six full figures assembled from 48 parts, you get the following:

Quickboost has provided the modeler with replacement parts for the Academy P-38J kit. Cast in their standard gray resin the parts had no flash and are easily removed with a razor saw. The Quickboost parts are direct replacements for the Academy parts C10 and D4. The difference between the parts lies with the air scoops on top; on the Academy parts the scoops were molded solid, while the Quickboost scoops are cast hollowed out.

For modeler who is uncomfortable with drilling out these scoops the Quickboost.net parts are perfect and in that regard I can recommend their use. I want to thank IPMS/USA and Quickboost for the opportunity to do this review.
