This latest release from Hippo Models is a 1/48 WW1 British refueling set.

The quality of the resin casting is flawless and bubble free.  One part was broken on the review sample, but the break was clean and the part was included so it will be a simple matter to reattach it so I won't bother Hippo Models for a replacement although I know they would quickly send out a replacement if I requested it.    

It's a simple set and one thing I like was the hollow end at the end of the coiled hose.  You get one page of instructions, it's a simple set and the challenge will be in getting the paint to look realistic.  This would be an excellent addition to a British WW1 aircraft diorama.

You can purchase these and other fine resin detail items directly from Hippo Models

I would like to thank Hippo Models for providing me with this review sample.
