[QB part, left, kit part, right] From Quickboost, we have a very nice resin upgrade for your IDF A-4 Skyhawk. The resin set was designed for the Hasegawa Kit. Although the resin add-on set is designed for the Hasegawa kit, I happened to have a 1/48 ESCI kit on hand and decided to use the set to improve the look of that kit. In the following picture you can see the comparison of ESCI parts and the Quickboost set. Clearly the Quickboost set are larger and measure much better to scale than the ESCI parts.

The other very nice detail that the Quickboost parts add are very nicely-bored gun barrels. The castings are absolutely superb, and required very little clean-up when removed from the sprues.

The addition of the Quickboost guns will definitely bring your 1/48 IDF Skyhawk to life. I would like to thank Quickboost for the review sample.
