Loon Models in Minnesota have recently released an excellent set of resin horizontal stabilizers and control surfaces designed for the Classic Airframes B-57B Canberra kit. These parts will enable the modeler to pose the rudder and horizontal control surfaces in any position he or she chooses other than neutral to bring more life to the model. I recently did this on my own for an EB-57 conversion and I can tell you that this set will save you a whole day’s work!

Also included in the set are two new air intakes that replace the solid intakes provided in the kit. These will only take a few minutes to install and greatly improve the look of the engine intake area of the model.

You get all of this for only $12.00 plus P&H, a real bargain. I obtained these parts from Roll Models (www.rollmodels.com) in Golden Valley, Minnesota.
