Res Kit

T

his month we

had yet another

envelope from

Ukraine, this time we

had wheels for what I

thought was a tractor

but turned out to be the

main and nose wheels

for a Mig-25 Foxbat. This gave

me an impression how massive

the Foxbat is in 1/48th and

explains why no one to date has

moulded this type in 1/32 scale.

Of more 1diminutive size

is a set supplying four Magic 2

missiles, this set is made up of a

resin body with either an exposed

seeker head or one fitted with a

protective cover. The guidance

fins are supplied in etched brass

while a small decal sheet supplies

the stencils for all four missiles.

1/48 SCALE

RS48-053 MAGIC-2 MISSILES

Suitable for Mirage III/5.2000, Rafale,

Super Etendard, F-16, Sea Harrier.

RS48-057 MIG-25 WHEEL SET

Designed for: Kittyhawk/ICM

CONCLUSION

The Mig-23 wheels will be perfect

on either Kittyhawk or ICMs

Foxbat while the Magic 2 missiles

are perfect for many French

fighters and their foreign users.

Res Kit have a Facebook

page at http://www.facebook.com/

reskit.ukraine/and this features a

number of interesting items which

I hope to review in the future.

This range is being stocked

by Hannants in the UK.

Plus Model Aero Line

J

ust three sets from

Plus Model in the

Aero Line range

this month, two in 1/72

scale for the Hasegawa

P2V Neptune and a

rather fine 1/48 scale

British First World

War pilot figure.

1/72 SCALE

AL7020 RACKS FOR P2V NEPTUNE

Designed for Hasegawa

AL7021 STENCILS FOR P2V NEPTUNE

These stencils are intended for light

white/grey camouflage schemes

Designed for Hasegawa

1/48 SCALE

AL4078 PILOT WWI CAMEL

This figure is posed quite casually with

a cigarette smouldering in his right

hand.

CONCLUSION

Plus Model has released several

sets now for the Hasegawa

Neptune, which will really

add detail to this vintage kit.

And with no sign of a state of

the art Neptune all of these

sets should be considered

an essential purchase.

The British pilot, whilst on

the box says for ‘Camel’ could

be equally displayed with any

1/48th scale late RFC/RAF First

World War fighter plane.

My thanks to Plus Model

M

oulded in cream resin

this replacement

seat and control

column also includes photo-

etched brass details and are a

vast improvement over the kit

parts they replace. The ejection

seat has the belts moulded

on which makes for a natural

sit to them,. And with careful

painting and the use of washes

will make them look just right.

1/32 SCALE

32126 MIG 21MF EJECTION SEAT AND

CONTROL COLUMN

more could you want
