REVIEWER:

Scott Van Aken

Can't have a new kit come out without a horde of aftermarket parts being offered. Some will state that the kit bits (especially on a Tamiya kit) are good enough and that they are. However, you can get finer detail when using resin than you can with injected plastic so those wanting that extra level of detail will be interested in a set like this. This set is just for the Tamiya kit and though it doesn't show the linkages that the Tamiya kit has on the outside of the tub, it shouldn't be any problem to install them.

The set includes the usual etched metal fret for seat belts, rudder pedals and most of the various knobs and switches. There are also a few bits for the canopy interior. Looks like a very nice set and should be most welcome for those who want that bit extra.
