Quickboost just keeps adding to their great line of quality resin aircraft accessories. The latest addition is for the Eduard F6F Hellcat. It is up to their usual standards: molded in grayish colored resin, smooth, seamless and bubble free. One thing of note is that they are really easy to remove from the mold block with just a few passes from a hobby saw.

The tail planes that come in the Eduard kit are okay and are molded as one piece but the Quickboost parts are molded separately so that they can be modeled in the down position with the rudder shifted. The Quickboost parts are superior and add just that much more realism to the finished kit. The resin parts are very easy to install and fit in place perfectly.

I highly recommend this product if you want a really superior looking model. Usually, replacement parts need some work to get them installed properly, but these stabilizers just fit right in. Thanks to Quickboost for the parts and IPMS/USA for the chance to do this review.
