Plus Model


I


like to have a look at
Plus models catalogue
as there is always
something just that little
bit different to catch your
eye, whether it be an
upgrade set or a useful
diorama accessory.

1/72 SCALE
AL7019 FLAPS FOR P2V NEPTUNE
(FOR HASEGAWA KIT)

1/48 SCALE
AL4074 WHEEL EXTINGUISHER
AL4075 PORTABLE TOOLBOX
AL4077 GERMAN FIRST WORLD WAR PILOT

The flap set for the Neptune
will really enhance the kit and
add some very fine detail. The

extinguisher and the portable
toolbox will sit very well in a more
modern diorama setting. The First
World War figure is beautifully
sculpted, the pilot is standing,
wearing uniform jacket, trousers,
peaked cap and boots. Over which
he is sculpted wearing a fur lined
leather knee length jacket. Visit
http://www.plusmodel.cz for lots of other
diorama accessories to inspire.

Dead Design


Models


I


t is always good to meet
up with new companies
and to be able to feature
their products! Dead Design
Models were on the stand next
to us at this year’s E-Day, and
they passed to us a selection
of their new masks. The
company currently focuses
on canopy masks (some sets
have wheel masks too) for
Japanese aircraft. The masks
are precision cut from yellow
tape and, as their slogan
states, they are freshly cut
for a sharper, closer fit!

1/48 SCALE
VM48 007 KI-43 II HAYABUSA CANOPY
MASK (FOR HASEGAWA KIT)
VM48 008 KI-43 III HAYABUSA CANOPY
MASK (FOR HASEGAWA KIT)
VM48 011 A5M2B LATE CLAUDE CANOPY
AND WHEEL MASK (FOR WINGSY KITS)

CONCLUSION
These new masks have not
been designed for just the new
kit releases; some are for older
kits too. It’s good that older
kits get some accessories too,
as I can pretty much guarantee
that your stash is not made up
of just the latest releases!

My thanks to Jan
Hajíček for supplying these
samples for review.

Wheelliant


T


his set of wheels
from Wheelliant will
certainly enhance
your Kinetic F-16I SUFA.

1/48 SCALE
148 018 F-16I SUFA WEIGHTED WHEELS
(FOR KINETIC KIT)

CONCLUSION
The wheels are very
subtly weighted, not flat
as often seen. They also
feature the Goodyear tyre
logo on the sidewalls, nice!
My thanks to
Wheeliant for supplying
these sets for review.

Aires


O


ne set this month from
Aires, a superbly detailed
airbrake for the 1/32 scale
Kittyhawk kit of the Trojan.

1/32 SCALE
2213 T-28 TROJAN AIR BRAKE (FOR
KITTYHAWK KIT)

CONCLUSION
This set features a resin insert,
which requires the removal of the
kit airbrake interior, before you add
the resin replacement, airbrake, and

hydraulic opening mechanism.
My thanks to Aires for supplying
these sets for review. http://www.aires.cz
