T
his month we have a wide
range of new releases
from Quickboost that
supply a mix of detail sets. These
include the exhaust pipes for
Revell’s 1/32 scale Spitfires;
some mini conversions, such
as the replacement chin pods to
modify Tamiya’s early F-14 to
late models; and correction sets
like those for the propellers on
Haseagawa’s P-3 Orion or Airfix’s
1/48 Ju-87, which have more
accurate shapes than the kit parts.1/72 SCALE

This month’s sets cover a good
selection of aircraft for both the SecondWorld War and modern subjects. I
particularly like the propeller sets,
mainly because they include a clever
jig that sets the correct pitch angles,
making assembly almost idiot proof. I
say “almost”, because I managed to use
too much glue and attach a propeller
to the jig, so learn from my mistake.
My thanks to Quickboost
