Kit part are above in grey....Ultracast resin parts are in yellow

 

 

Here's a new set of resin tubular exhausts from Ultracast.  These are designed to fit the Hobbycraft and Academy kits.  These are pretty straightforward.  You are to use the resin part instead of the poorly detailed kit part.  Exhausts that are drilled out can provided a great level of detail and realism to a model.  Poorly done kit exhausts can detract very much from the high level of detail of your model.  Drilling out kit exhausts will still not give you the level of detail you will get from these amazing Ultracast exhausts. 

These exhausts come attached to a casting block with a very thin connection point and removal is easily done.  The detail level is exquisite with the tubes being indented on the sides just like the full sized exhausts.  Installation will be no problem and these will definitely add to the detail of your P-40B/C.

I'd like to thank Kevin at Ultracast for sending me these review sample.
