Contents Description

Packaged within the recognizable clear wrapping with the bright orange Quickboost logo, you will find one instruction sheet and three resin castings. As with every Quickboost product, the quality is outstanding.

Instruction Guide

The fold-out instructional sheet shows the three casting parts on the left-hand side and the assembly guide on the right-hand side. It is important to note that the intended kit for this set is the 1/32 Kitty Hawk OV-10D. As indicated by the instructions, the Quickboost resin castings will replace kit parts H23 and H24.

Construction

Being that these are replacement parts, the construction is very straightforward. Carefully remove the parts from the casting blocks. I used a sharp #11 blade to make a score line and then used a microsaw to fully remove the parts. Caution: the resin pylons have two small mounting pins. Do not cut them off! The forward pin is tricky to spot.

In order to remove the four small clamp parts, I used the microsaw to cut off the ends of the casting block. I continued using the microsaw to then remove the four small parts. You will then want to sand down any rough edges. As indicted by the instructions, the four small clamps are to be inserted into the openings of the pylons.

Conclusion

I have used Quickboost replacement parts on many models. I have never been disappointed and they have always improved the appearance of the final product. I highly recommend you this Quickboost replacement set!

Thank you to Aires Hobby Models for providing the IPMS Reviewer Corp with this excellent sample, and thank you to IPMS USA for the opportunity to review it.
