Thanks once again to Quickboost for providing IPMS USA this review item!

I marvel at how these pitot tubes are manufactured; compare to the kit item in the picture, and tell me what technology and black magic are at use here! Not much to say except they QB pitot tubes are far better than the kit item; delicate and impressive when installed. Too bad they aren’t stainless steel! (One “Twang” and they disappear in resin, but I guess it’s better than stabbing a fellow club member in the eye with real metal). Good thing there is a spare on the pour stub! Another extremely competent and well done effort from Quickboost!

Consider this a quick, easy upgrade to your Spitfire; The kit items are not as detailed as these in that the QB parts provide just a little bit of “Oompf” ; Why? The muzzles; included are a standard smooth version, with the bore already drilled out, and one with flats to simulate the location the armorer uses to fit the barrel wrench on (also with the bore drilled out). Magnificent! Same for the shrouded barrel; Finely detailed! Add to the set blanking plates for the leading edge to cover the unused outer gun barrels, and you have a worthy addition to your “Spit”.

Highly recommended!

Quickboost has come out with a 1/32nd scale seat and belts for the Me262. It can be used with either the old Hasegawa offering or the newer Trumpeter kits. A quick check of the Hasegawa and Trumpeter kits seems like it will fit either one.

The kit has a casting block on the bottom which I cut off with a razor saw and then sanded smooth (although it is on the bottom and out of sight, which is great). The molded-in seat belts are excellent with all the correct parts present and done in nice relief.

I included a comparison [picture of the Hasegawa and Trumpeter kit seats and the Quickboost offering). It is an enormous improvement and will make a world of difference in the kit as shown in the picture.

Highly recommended! My thanks to Quickboost and IPMS/USA for the chance to review this item.

Quickboost continues with its excellent replacement seats with one for the Dragon/Trimaster Me163A. The seat comes with a small pour block which is on the bottom and easily cut off and sanded smooth.I had an old Trimaster kit and the picture shows just what an improvement it is with thinner edges and beautifully molded in seat belts. This product is highly recommended for the Dragon or Trimaster kit.

My thanks to Quickboost and IPMS/USA for the review sample.

This book is an in-depth look at the Ju 87. When the title says a complete history, it means just that! This book covers the development of the Stuka up to modern day survivors. It has coverage of each variant as well as every area of combat in which the Stuka fought.

The first two chapters cover the development and genus of the design. Touching on its competitors as well and giving interesting comparisons. This is followed by the next six chapters. Each of which covers the specifics of each of the following variants, the Anton, Bertha, Caesar and Richard as well as their use in combat both theoretical and actuality. Operations in Poland at the onset of WWII are also covered. I found Chapter Five on the “C” variant for use on the carrier Graf Zeppelin particularly informative and interesting.
