CONCLUSION

Quickboost sets are a fantastic

way of adding that little bit of extra

detail or correcting that minor

inaccuracy in a kit. They are also

a good introduction to using resin

aftermarket parts and are the ideal

sets for a first-timer to use, as they

tend to simply replace the kit part

and do not require any cutting to fit.

My thanks to Quickboost

for supplying these samples for

Scale Aircraft Conversions

T

his month SAC have

released four new sets

for kits that have only

just arrived on the hobby shop

shelves. As always, they are cast

in white metal and are direct

replacements for the kit parts,

needing just a minimal amount

of clean up with a jewellers file

to take care of any mould lines.

CONCLUSION

If you want to add some strength

to the legs of your model (for

traveling to shows, or if you are

like me and are just very heavy-

handed), having a set of metal

legs does have a big benefit.

This range of metal legs is

available from Hannants in the

UK, and also available directly

from the manufacturer’s web site

at http://www.scaleaircraftconversions.

com, where you can also see

the 900-plus undercarriage

sets currently available.
