Our latest instalment of Airfix news and exclusives now awaits your perusal. We have a stunning selection of built model images featuring a relatively recent 1/72nd scale kit release, one which depicts an aircraft which was quite unique in WWII Royal Air Force terms and we end by looking back at one of this year’s few early season model shows to take place and some of the magnificent modelling we found on display at a leisure centre in West Yorkshire. We also have the pleasure of introducing our readers to the latest member of the Airfix development team and feature his handiwork on the only new 2020 aviation tooling addition to the popular Quickbuild range. One is a relatively small, yet extremely agile training aircraft, whilst the other is a fifth generation combat aircraft and one of the most capable multi-role combat aeroplanes in the world. So what do we have for you in this latest edition? Our first two features serve as something of a modelling jetfest, as we bring you details from two current projects which highlight the development of post war jets which have seen service with the Royal Air Force.
HURRICANE TANK BUSTER MODEL UPDATE
Our intention is to maintain our usual publication dates and we will update readers with any revised product release dates as soon as these become available. We appear to have reached that point now, but thankfully, we still have plenty of information to bring you, even if it is in a different order than we had originally planned. With the ongoing worldwide restrictions on individuals and businesses continuing to have a significant impact on everyday life, there was always going to be the likelihood that production uncertainties would have an impact on the availability of project updates scheduled for inclusion in our Workbench blog. I would like to thank Quickboost for providing the review sample and IPMS for the chance to review it.Welcome to this latest edition of Workbench and all the news, updates and exclusive announcements from the fascinating world of Airfix modelling.

You can order these resin cannons from Let them know that you've seen a review of their products in the IPMS website. Quickboost has delivered another little gem, and these cannons are going to look excellent in your finished model. To attach the resin cannons, you will have to do some minor surgery to the original parts, as Hasegawa has molded the cannons as one piece together with the under wing fairings. They look much better than I could have ever made the plastic parts look, by using a hand-drill and a drill bit. The cannon barrels ends are hollow and dead centered. I do not know which manufacturer got it closer to scale. By comparing the parts I've noticed that the Quickboost ones are slightly larger in diameter (by 0.1 mm) and about 1.5 mm longer.

Pictures are shown of the plastic injection molded cannons from Hasegawa and the nicely detailed resin version from Quickboost, side by side. Removal of the parts should be easy, with either a hobby saw or even by scoring with a #11 blade if you take your time. The molding cast includes two side "walls" to prevent accidental damage of the parts while in transit or storage.

The cannons are perfectly casted in grey resin, with a bubble-free, smooth finish.
