This is a another great product from Ultracast.  They are famous for their beautiful cast resin detail items.  Many times I'm in the hobby shop and see resin items and wonder....hummm....I wonder if this is much better than the kit part.  Below you can see the resin part and the kit parts.  Ultracast is one resin part manufacturer that produces parts that are quite a bit better than kit parts.  The resin parts come with hollowed out exhaust ends as well and ridges around the exhaust openings.  At the base of the exhaust stacks are tiny little bolt heads and an exhaust flange.  The detail is fine, very consistent and shockingly crisp. With a bit of black paint inside the exhaust and proper painting this resin set would make quite the difference to an already fine kit.  Tamiya did  a poor job when it can to the exhaust for this kit but you can fix that with these excellent resin aftermarket items from Ultracast.

Special thanks to Ultracast for this review sample.  Visit their website for a variety of resin detail items for many different kits.
