Above photos show kit prop compared to the Ultracast replacement.   The Ultracast prop is wider in chord through the bottom of the propeller.  The kit prop is also pointier, and has a nasty ejector pin mark at the bottom rear of each blade.

The above photo shows Ultracast hub compared to the kit hub.  As is usual with most injection kits, the details on the rear of the hub are wrong/missing.

There are 2 complete props in each set.  Clean up is very minimal and the parts 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. 

The seats are a major focal point on models and these will really improve the look of the undercarriage in your next Mitsubishi A6M Zero.  

You can buy these directly from Ultracast.
