There's a new company coming onto the aftermarket scene like gangbusters.
This company is called Quickboost out of the Czech Republic, and
in a short period of time, they've turned out dozens of very nice
looking resin details sets.
In this case, here are a pair of machine gun barrels that are
literally drop-in replacements for the kit barrels in Hasegawa's
new-tool Fw 190A-8. Take a close look at that detailing! Those
cooling holes in the cooling jackets really pop out and add additional
visual details with no effort.
This set is definitely a 'no-brainer' for the Luftwaffe modeler
who wants more detail with little or no effort. I mark the skill
level of this release at basic as all you have to do is carefully
remove the resin parts from the mold blocks just as you would with
styrene, and use a small drop of cyano to mount them. That's it!
Definitely recommended!
My sincere thanks to Design & Marketing
International for this review sample!
