P-61 A/B Compressed Air Cylinders
Quickboost has issued this set of 12 Compressed Air Cylinders for the Great Wall Hobby P-61A/B. There are 12 cylinders perfectly case in grey resin and attached to a single carrier at the bottom. Cast guards are in place to make sure no damage is done. Removal is simple in just cutting the cylinders from there base with a sprue cutter and removing a few faint seam lines.
I ran into something unusual at this point. Most Quickboost parts are drop in replacements for the somewhat deficient kit parts. I went over the GWH kit instructions several times looking for the parts to be replaced and found nothing. A couple visits to Internet sites located nothing showing where the cylinders belong. I was lucky enough to have a pilot handbook and started going over it in earnest. I think I hot pay dirt with the Oxygen system to the plane, not compressed air. I have included a couple pictures from the handbook showing the tanks for the oxygen system (six in each wheel well) and their location. I taped it together and fit the cylinders in with some white glue. They do busy up the wheel well nicely. To really detail it, you could plumb the cylinders also. I also included the instruction sheet from the Quickboost set showing, well, nothing.
In the end, the set is nice and it does its job. I do think that adding the location to the instructions would be very nice and save some time. My thanks to Quickboost and IPMS/USA for the opportunity to review this item.
