Here's a new set of resin exhausts for the 1/48 Macchi C.205 from Ultracast.  These are a straight forward swap for the kit parts.  These exhausts have the fine detail and will look quite sharp on your next Macchi C.205.  They are designed to fit the Hasegawa kit. 

There are 2 resin pieces in each set.....enough for one model.  Clean up is very minimal and the exhausts come attached to the casting blocks with very easy to manage connection points and removal is easily done with no loss of detail.  The detail level and casting quality is flawless.  Do not remove the seam line as I suspect these were present on the full sized aircraft....check your references.

The exhausts are a major focal point on all models and these will really improve the look of your model.  Most kit exhausts aren't hollowed out, but these resin ones are.  Some careful detail painting and a wash and dry brushing will accentuate the hollow pipes of these exhausts.  To order these go to the Ultracast website or directly to this page.  http://www.ultracast.ca/products/48/177/default.htm

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