Eduard continues to release great photoetch sets and this is no exception. This set is for the Kinetic Mirage IIIE, and adds a lot of missing detail to the cockpit that really adds to the kit.

The photoetch parts are for the:

• Seat
• Instrument panel
• Canopy details

In the packet is:

• 1 photoetch sheet
• 1 instruction sheet

Summary

This set uses a PE sheet from the other Eduard set, no. 49742, so you would not need to purchase both of these sets, but select which one is best for your build.

This is a must-have set for the Kinetic kit that makes it into a great model with all you need to add more detail to the aircraft cockpit. The instruments are great, and make the cockpit very impressive.

Thanks go to Eduard for providing this set to review and IPMS USA for allowing me to review it.

Quickboost is a company that specializes in drop-in resin replacement parts to enhance the appearance of your models. Being “drop-in” replacements, it is very rare you need you modify the original parts, hence the “quick” name.

In this case I am reviewing the exhaust engine for the well-known A-36 Apache in 1/48 scale from Accurate Miniatures, this kit is also available reboxed by Italeri.

As you can see from the pictures the resin parts have hollow ends which would look much better than the plastic parts. Also note that the resin part includes a locating pin in the back of the exhausts. Exercise care when removing the part from the pouring block.

Highly recommended.

I would like to thank Aires/Quickboost and IPMS/USA for the review sample.

As Wikipedia puts it: The Airspeed AS.51 Horsa was a British World War II troop-carrying glider, built by Airspeed Limited and subcontractors, used for air assault by British and Allied armed forces. It was named after Horsa, the legendary 5th-century conqueror of southern Britain. It had an aircrew of two and normally carried 20 – 25 paratroopers. Originally, it was intended to carry bombs and was designed so that paratroopers could leave the plane while in flight using parachutes. Both of these ideas were eventually dropped and paratroopers were expected to ride the glider all the way to the ground.

Scale Aircraft Conversions celebrated their Silver Anniversary last year, and now have over twenty-five years of supplying resin and white metal parts to model builders. This is the sixth landing gear set from SAC that I have reviewed, and once again, they have provided an excellent metal option for kit-supplied landing gear. This set is intended for the 1/72 scale F4D-1 Douglas Skyray that was released by Tamiya in 1998 (kit 41 of the 1/72 scale War Bird Collection). The purpose of this replacement set is to provide stronger landing gear that is adjustable if necessary to obtain proper angles. Even with no previous experience in using white metal parts, this set will provide an upgrade that most modelers will have no issue installing.
