Here's a new set of resin 1/48 P-51D/K Gun Fairings from Ultracast designed to fit the  Tamiya P-51D/K & F-51 kits.  You replace the horrible kit a parts with these finely crafted resin gun fairings.

These fairing sections and gun details were designed from factory drawings and eliminate the tedious and frustrating job of eliminating the leading edge seam while trying to preserve the details.  Some care will be needed to carefully remove these sections from the wings.  This is best done before the wings have been glued together.  Leave a little extra material and slowly remove it, test fitting the new inserts as you go.

There are 2 fairings in each set...enough for one model.  Clean up is very minimal and the fairings 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.

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