Product Picture

Quickboost adds another set of upgrade part to its line for the Roden T-28 series. In this example, the add two upgraded control stick and four upgraded rudder pedals. the parts are cast perfectly in Aires gray resin. The control sticks have a web of film that has to be removed. No instructions are included as these are direct replacement parts.

Removal is simple. Cut the parts free and trim as needed and use. I will warn you, the control sticks are very thin and fragile and even with the good quality of resin, I snapped one off at the base. Its an easy fix but still, a light touch is required.

I have included comparison shots of the Roden parts. The Quickboost sticks are finer and have no ejection pin marks. The rudder pedals from Quickboost have a better tread pattern on them and better attachment points.

Roden's T-28's have large cockpits and big canopies so any enhancement to the cockpit will be visible. In this case, this upgrade set is a definite improvement and visible and at a reasonable cost and for those reasons, can be recommended. My thanks to Quickboost and IPMS/USA for the chance to review this set.
