I met up with the new owner of CAM resin details at the 2006 IPMS/USA
National Convention and not only is he reissuing the existing CAM
detail line, he's already releasing new subjects as well.
This set is a rather simple upgrade for your favorite 1/24 scale
P-51 Mustang. These are metal drop
tanks that were carried for a while but dropping valuable metal
every sortie led to other materials to used for drop tanks.
This set consists of a pair of tanks though the profile indicates
that the rear of the tank should be a bit more pointed. Rather
than cutting away the molding stub, somewhere in that resin are
the ends of those tanks, so you'll want to carefully shape those
molding blocks into the correct shapes for the rear end of the
tank. Check your references.
These will complement the
Airfix, MPC, or Trumpeter P-51D kits.
Recommended! Check out this and other CAM detail sets

My sincere thanks to John's
Models for this review sample!
