FirstLook

 

This French company is producing some very nicely detailed and cast aircraft accessories in both 1/72 and 1/48 scale.

The resin castings are very crisp with some very fine detail captured. The parts have some minor moulding flash and once removed from the casting blocks, cleaned up and painted the details should look very realistic. These are among some of the best resin parts that I have seen.

Subjects reviewed are:

  • AC72-03 1/72 scale Douglas Refuel pod for the Super Etendard

  • AC72-02 1/72 scale F-16 MRP Pod for the Danish, Dutch, Belgian and US Air Force manufactured by Perudsen in Denmark.

  • AC48-10 1/48 scale Italian Aircraft Guns (Breda Safat 12.7 and 7.7mm, Scotti 12.7mm - pictured below)

The only issue that I can see with these detail sets is that all text on the instruction sheets is in French so you will need your French translator to be handy. My French is not good, so I have translated the best I can using my French dictionary.

Due to the easy nature of cleanup and fitting I recommend these for all experience levels of modellers.

Thanks to L'Arsenal for the review sample
