So bored with the prospect of a 24th scale 190A-5 ?( it always puzzled me as to why Airfix didn't opt for the heavier gunned and much more business like A-7 or 8) well you could always convert it to an A-8 or even an A8/R2 with the third review of Jerry Rutman's 24th scale series of conversion and detail sets.

This is a straightforward conversion without any real fussing you can at a stroke beef up the A-5 to a much more desireable machine. Again as in all of the products from Rutman Productions this set supplies the essential items to build what could be a truly great model, including new gun covers, the forward revised gun trough and a set of rathe nice wheels to replace the nasty rubber things in the kit.

Mark Proulx reviewed this set when it was initially released a few weeks ago, but as an integral part of the update of the Airfix it is worth mentioning again, Mark's review can be found here

Coming soon are resin detail/conversions for the Hasegawa Bf109G-6 and a 1/24th scale conversion for the Fw190D-9, plus a whole host of Fw190 conversions and some great new full kit releases form Jerry Rutman in 2002……
