Cutting Edge Details

by Michael Benolkin

Cutting Edge has released some new detail sets in the last month. These include:


CEC48357 Bf 109F Corrected Late Style Prop & Spinner

  • Recommended Kit: Hasegawa

  • MSRP: $5.99 USD


CEC48358 Bf 109G Corrected Late Style Prop & Spinner

  • Recommended Kit: Hasegawa

  • MSRP: $5.99 USD


CEC48359 Bf 109K Corrected Late Style Prop & Spinner

  • Recommended Kit: Hasegawa

  • MSRP: $5.99 USD


CEC48415 C-130 'Pinocchio' Nose

  • Recommended Kit: Italeri

  • MSRP: $13.99 USD

This set is essential if you have (or want to build) the Italeri 1/48 DC-130A kit into an accurate USAF or USN drone launcher. This is reportedly one of the first of many different C-130 mods that Meteor will be releasing in the future. Cool!


CEC48425 F8F-2 Corrected Tail

  • Recommended Kit: Hobbycraft

  • MSRP: $8.99 USD


CEC48428 F-16 Saddle Tanks

  • Recommended Kit: Hasegawa

  • MSRP: $13.99 USD

This one ranks the top of the 'cool' scale for me - these are the conformal fuel tanks that a few Vipers have been modeling in flight test and at the Paris Air Shows. These are reportedly being integrated into the F-16C Block 60 program and will likely surface on earlier models when budgets allow.


Meteor continues to turn out some major enhancements to anyone's project. If they haven't done something you are interested in building, be patient, they'll get around to it. You can order any of these detail sets directly from Meteor Productions (www.meteorprod.com).

My sincere thanks to Meteor Productions for these review samples!
