Pavla produces an interesting line of detail sets for a variety
of subjects, each one designed to enhance a particular aspect
of a given kit. In this set, Pavla has started to dress up
Airfix's 1/48 TSR.2.
This is a large casting that features both main wheel wells
as well as two of the centerline bays all in one resin part.
If you look closer at the image above, you can see the structural
details of the intake trunks that run on the other side of
those wheel well walls, plus the plumbing and mechanics for
the main landing gear as well. Additional details are provided
on the three small resin sprues.
This next image shows that this big resin part is a drop-in
fit into the Airfix fuselage and with the right painting and
weathering, will really set off the appearance of the model.
Heck, the set looks rather impressive as-is! Pavla also offers
the nose wheel well and a cockpit set separately, so you can
mix and match the add-on details as you see fit.
If you want to dress up your Airfix TSR.2
kit, Pavla has the parts to get the job
done!
Definitely recommended!
My sincere thanks to Pavla Models
for this review sample.
