QB 72155: Stabilizer QB 72157: Engine Cover QB 72154: Fuselage Spine For the Fujimi 1/72 Spitfire Mk. XIV

Reviewed By  Chris Durden, IPMS #29474

MSRP: $6.95 each www.quickboost.net The Fujimi 1/72 Spitfire Mk. XIV series of kits have been praised for their accurate outlines and petite details. They are also burdened by poor cockpit detail and a fiddly breakdown of parts - specifically the spine and engine cover inserts which are too narrow. Quickboost has just released a trio of detail sets that will probably inspire modelers to take these kits out of the closet and actually build them. All of these sets are well molded, finely detailed, easy to remove from their pour lugs; and they are also a drop fit to replace the kit parts. As you can see, both the engine cover and fuselage inserts address the width issue completely which will ease construction of the model considerably. The stabilizers are also a drop fit replacement and address the weird 'notch' on the kit part. All in all definitely a good value for your money - as most of us are limited in our allotted time in the man cave, such time savers as welcome. Thanks to Quickboost for the review samples.
