The Thor kit is made of a main body, the engine compartment and engine bell and the nose cone. Decals are provided for one version. There is an A4 intsruction sheet with exploded diagram and painting indications. |

Resin casting with photo-etched metal parts and decals
|
Comments
| This is a nice model to build. Resin casting is outstanding. As you can see by the review, there are not too many parts to built, so construction goes fast, quite a weekend project. Painting was done with alclad II and tamiya acrylics. Decals performed very well. The base is 1/35 scale display for figures. I just add a round piece of plasticard, painted it white an used an American flag decal. It was a fun and easy project! |

| New ware is a Czech manufacturer of resin space models. You can get from them military or civil rockets from all major space race countries. The resin casting is fantastic, with no bubbles and great detail. The models were send by mail in a sturdy box and very well protected. Photo-etched metal parts and decals were provided for a perfect finish. Most subjects are in 1/144 scale, but you wil find some subjects in 1/48, 1/72 and 1/24. You can order at their website: http://mek.kosmo.cz/newware/. Service is very nice and postage is not expensive. |

Comments

This is the old Fujimi kit of the E-2C hawkeye. It has been on my workbench for quite a while. Since i got the Kinetic/Italeri kit of the same plane in 1/48 scale, i abandoned the project. However the kit was almost done. When i found the Authentic decals set for the E-2C i decided to finish it. The fit is ok, the panel lines are o mix of raised and recessed ones and overall detail is not even close to the new Hasegawa kit of the E-2C in 1/72 scale. The decals look really nice but were hard to work with, being very fragile. Painting was done with Tamiya acrylics, and i left a little glossy finish with Future. Not a weekend project and, unless you already have this kit, go with the Kinetic or Hasegawa offering!

Comments
| These are nice releases from Contact Resine. In my opinion, a plastic modeler should work with plastic. I don´t like vinil tires because i think they are unrealistic and, with time, they destroy the plastic parts. Resin sets for 1/32 and 1/48 scale are easy to find. However, 1/24 scale are hard to get. These are french made and i found them thanks to Largescale plane forum. Thank you guys! You can get them at http://www.design-marketingintl.com/ with a great service and inexpensive shiping charges. |
