Detail Packaging

If you have a 1/32 Spitfire kit that would benefit from the addition of a well-detailed seat that comes with realistic safety belts, Quickboost has an answer. Quickboost has added exactly that to their 1/32 resin detail part line, and this seat provides a significant level of extra detail that most current other offerings don’t. As the photo below shows, in addition to believable safety belts, Quickboost’s version provides a row of flare cartridges along the front edge of the seat and a detailed seat-adjusting lever along the right side. The part is molded in Quickboost’s familiar gray resin and is packaged on a casting block. The quality of the molding is flawless, with no bubbles, pinholes or flash to remove.

A razor saw blade can be used to remove the part from the substantial casting block it comes on and a quick swipe with a sanding stick can dress up the cut if necessary. Since this part is a replacement for a typical kit seat, it should fit most kit cockpits with little or no significant surgery. If desired, the front edge cartridge rack can easily be removed with a sharp #11 blade.
Remember, because it is resin, it will need to be attached with super glue or epoxy cement.

The part is highly recommended to anyone who wants to add significant detail to the cockpit of any 1/32 Spitfire kit.

My thanks to IPMS/USA and Quickboost for the opportunity to review this very nice aftermarket detail part.
