Product Picture

Videoaviation is new to me and once I received the sample for review, I am wondering why I have not seen their fine aftermarket resin sets. Packaged in a sturdy plastic box, resin is protected by bubble wrap with all parts flash free and cast in light tan resin. A nice touch is the pour block on the pod is on the underside opposite the side on where it connects to the pylon. This makes it easy to remove that portion and sand contour without damaging features.

There are simply two parts to assemble , pod and exhaust plume deflector. Looking at reference photos, the plume deflector may be an option so check your references if you even need that part. Both parts can easily be sanded free of the pour base. Instructions show to add lugs to the top but the sample already has these cast in simplifying the assembly. Decals are included with all having a white background except for “Remove before Flight” flags.

Assembly, painting and decals was fairly smooth with a small amount of filer when I cut too deep separating he pour block and a small pin hole on one casting. There is only one color option, two tone white and black but check your references. Photos show the black portions as a dark natural metal. The decals are fine and do on without any issues.

A final coat of flat clear varnish and it is all done.

Two pods are included in the set. I would like to thank Videoaviation for this review sample.
