THANK YOU to our friends and suppliers at Aires/Quickboost for another improvement set, in this case for the Revell DE Tornado IDS/GR-4 undercarriage doors. And thanks also to the reviewer corps leaders for making them available to me to review.

This set improves the kit components by replacing them with fine, pressure-molded resin parts. These are very thin and fragile. Included are five doors in gray resin, (two main, three nose gear) and two clear taxi lights.

Remove the parts from their pour stub, and superglue in place. These fit in place of the kit items, no additional sanding or kit plastic removal required. Quick and improved kit appearance with scale size and thickness.

The kit parts are good; the Aires parts are better. Improved, more “scale” detail, more finesse on the doors (and no mold seam to deal with), and “sharper” molding on the parts overall.

Use your favorite sharp instrument to separate the parts from their pour stubs. Some light sanding of the parts where they have been removed from the stubs is required, particularly the outside of the doors where an extra bit of resin keeps the modeler from breaking off the doors from the pour stub in an improper, ragged way. Install with superglue and use a touch spray of primer to prepare the resin for final painting and installation. These do stick out, so my recommendation is to not install everything until the end so you won’t break them.

This set is highly recommended for improved detail! Thanks again to Quickboost and IPMS USA for providing these items.
