I'm thinking about using this set to convert a Revell Merlin HC3 to HC3A standard, and was wondering if anyone has used it before or knows any reviews of it at all?

Many Thanks in advance,

Tom

Not used it either, but just did a quick Google and it looks OK. Not as crisp as some of the bigger names in aftermarket, but a lot better than some of his older stuff, which was pretty ropey TBH. I believe he used to do his own casting but has now outsourced it with improved results. It's pretty much your only option so probably worth a punt- much easier than upgrading it from scratch Wink

Many thanks for the replies, much appreciated.

I'll get one ASAP, then all that's left is getting a standard RAF letters and serials decal sheet for the codes and serials. I'm thinking Modeldecal MD036B ( also available as Xtradecal X72157 ). Looks good enough for the job!
