Brengun 1/144 Me-309V Aftermarket
By Matt Bittner
Overview
A short time ago, Brengun released a plastic-injected kit of the Me-309V. Since Brengun is also known for their aftermarket, it was no surprise they released this set for their own kit.
The Aftermarket
Brengun supplies not only a photoetch fret, but also a set of resin replacement parts. Those parts are for all wheels and the nose gear leg. On the photoetch fret there exists an entire fold-up cockpit tub, including other separate parts that are added to that tub; a replacement fold-up seat as well as seat belts; rudder pedals; front and rear "mesh" for the underside radiator, along with support struts; replacement oleos for the main gear; oleo for the new, resin front gear; all landing gear doors; and aileron balances.
Conclusion
Naturally anything that Brengun provides as extra will be great additions to an already nice kit. Since the kit itself doesn't come with seat belts, you need to pick up this set for that and since you now have it, might as well use the set for all the goodies it provides.
I definitely want to thank Brengun for sending this set to review.
