JHM4801 = from HobbyLink=20 Japan http://www.hlj.com/

I think in both cases the answer is yes = =E2=80=93 it=E2=80=99s a very=20 worthwhile tool. =20

 

Most of the parts consist of = one piece=20 cut-outs of 3mm ply that assemble into what is a very = lightweight=20 structure. The four adjustable blocks, which can be moved back = and forth=20 depending on the size of the model, are assembled from seven = separate=20 pieces plus two nuts. Then the v-shaped supports are screwed to = the=20 blocks and finally they are fastened to the board with vertical = screws=20 into the base of each block. By loosening the screws everything = becomes=20 fully adjustable back and forth and up and down. I chose to put = it all=20 together with standard PVA wood glue and some clamps. This was = fast and=20 easy. I used CA glue to attach the rubber bands to the contact = surfaces=20 on the v-supports and the attachment feels sufficiently = strong.

 

This product is very simple in = appearance=20 yet it has been very thoughtfully designed. The wing v-supports = have=20 very gentle concave curves and with the rubber bands they cradle = your=20 model very nicely. The front and rear v-supports have similar = curvature=20 but also feature deep v-cuts to gently grip the model=E2=80=99s = fuselage.

Priced at around the cost of a = typical=20 1/48 scale kit maybe it=E2=80=99s worth forgoing just one more = new model and=20 grabbing one of these instead. Well recommended.
