Spitfire Corrected AntennaPublished: November 19, 2010 Do you think that the antenna on any of the Spitfire kits looks a little too thick? If you are like me, do you hate to remove the mold lines? Well Quickboost fixes both of these issues. Molded in light caramel color these little gems are bubble and blemish free. You get three antennas for use on any model of the Spitfire. Adding them is so simple; each antenna has a mounting peg which will fit… more |

Hs-126 ExhaustPublished: November 19, 2010 These simple, yet effective, exhausts are typical of Quickboost exhausts, perfectly formed with hollowed ends. The parts are molded in light grey, blemish free resin. The Hs-126 has two very small exhausts and these are easy enough to add to your ICM Henschel. Highly recommended You can obtain your copy at your local hobby shop or online. Our thanks to Quickboost and Aires… more |

Ju-87D-1/D-3 Stuka Exhaust - Early TypePublished: November 19, 2010 Designed for the Hasegawa family of Dora model Stukas, these little gems are typical of the Quickboost line, simple and inexpensive upgrades for the modeler. Molded in light grey resin these exhausts are beautiful and flaw free. There is the aerodynamic cover on the front but then there is the exhausts themselves. They are beautiful. The exhausts feature the weld seam on the outside and the… more |

Air Modeller #31, August/September 2010Published: October 24, 2010 Air Modeller’s latest issue, #31, contains some of the best looking models I’ve seen in quite some time. The cover photo alone is really impressive, a well worn and weathered F-100. Typical of the magazine, this one contains 64 pages of brilliant color photographs. The first model highlighted is a highly detailed two color scheme F-104 built by Diego Quijano. This is actually the… more |

Bf-109G Gun Packs and 109G-10 Wing w/Small Bulges, Wheels & Tall TailwheelPublished: February 10, 2020 Roll Models has come out with their own brand of aftermarket resin parts, Loon Models and we'll review two sets in this review- a gun pack set and a set to modify G-10 wings and wheels. The gunboat Messerschmitt Bf-109 contains some of the best looking markings for the 109. So what is unique about this set? Well for one the centerline gun pod. As far as I can recall this is the only way… more |

FW-190A / F and FW-190D-9/D-11/D-13 Wing Root Gun Covers (Closed)Published: February 3, 2020 Eduard’s FW-190s are some of my favorite models. One of the things that is ‘nitpicky’ about them is that you have to cut open the wing root gun covers so that the kit parts will fit in a closed position. Sometimes this results in a less than perfect fit, depending on how well you cut them. Well you don’t have to do it anymore. Loon Models provides you with the two covers with the trailing… more |

Ju-87D-5N Night Exhaust Type CPublished: October 14, 2010 The Hasegawa Stuka kits are really nice. They could use some help when it comes to the night bomber variants. That is where Quickboost comes in. They offer three different variants of the night bomber exhausts. This particular exhaust, Type C, is shaped at an angle with beautiful detail inside the front and rear parts. Molded in bubble free light grey plastic with exquisite detail, these… more |

AC-47 Minigun Gun BarrelsPublished: October 13, 2010 The recent release by Monogram of the AC-47 ‘Spooky’ Gunship was unexpected and a welcome addition for Vietnam era modelers. While essentially the same kit as released in the 70s there was an additional sprue for the armament and peculiar parts for the AC-47. Quickboost has come up with two conversion sets for the AC-47. This one is for the minigun barrels and the other is the ammo… more |

Arado Ar-196 ExhaustPublished: October 13, 2010 Designed for the Italeri Ar-196, these new exhausts are molded in light grey resin and are absolutely beautiful. There are two exhausts that have thinned hollow ends which would be difficult to obtain on your own. Well at least difficult for me. Removal from the pour stub is simple enough and then it is just a matter of painting and installing. The exhausts will add to the look of your model… more |

P-47 Thunderbolt Intercooler ExhaustPublished: October 13, 2010 The Tamiya P-47D, whether the Razorback or Bubbletop, is a great kit, but the intercoolers are non-existent and are see through. Quickboost fixes this in an easy and inexpensive way. Molded in light grey resin, these two exhausts are just inserted into the model and this will prevent the "see-through" effect, offering a more accurate look to your model. The inexpensive price tag will… more |
