Sergey Kosachev has sent us details of his latest Vector resin superdetailing and correction sets.
The release of ICM's mainstream Hs 126 almost undoubtedly dented sales of Vector's stunning resin kit, but Sergey has turned the situation to his advantage by releasing many of the exquisite parts from his own kit as the basis of new aftermarket upgrades for the ICM Hs 126B:

Set #VDS48-041 provides a complete new cockpit. One of the high points of the Vector resin Hs 126 is its superb cockpit, so it's great to be able to fit these details into the styrene model.

Set #VDS48-042 is an exterior set, including a multi-part BWM 323, a new cowling and spinner, exterior fuselage armour, new stabilizers and replacement control surfaces that have a subtly depicted fabric finish.

Set #VDS48-043 replaces the ICM canopy with new parts cast in clear resin, featuring the distinctive "curtain rail" sliding mechanism of the Hs 126B.

Sergey has already brought out several upgrades for Monogram's classic P-61 Black Widow. Now it's the turn of the engines to get the Vector treatment:

Set #VDS48-044 provides new engines, cowls and radiators, the new multi-part Pratt & Whitneys being little kits in their own right.

Set #VDS48-045 replaces the original Monogram propellers and spinners.

Now why did you have to go and show me this Rowan ? Now I have to go find a second job to pay for 6 sets of P-61 upgrades. Engines, cowls, spinners, props, glass. . . . . Perhaps Sergey will send me 6 sets of review samples

I would not hold my breath .. I think Rowan will get some though .. maybe he is willing to share (though it fits his area of interest pretty well). I just bought the Bf 109 goodies last month and maybe I can sneak one or another of the updates in next year ... as I wrote: both kits are not very high on my todo pile ... And Sergey also thought about a cockpit, maybe wheels/ wheel well .... so still some time to wait until I restart the project (but at least the kit is partly rescribed already ... not very good, but it is ) BTW @Rowan ... I might send some pix of another model somewhere next week if you want ... the Spit was not very well liked (and yes I am pretty productive this year ... I think I have already twice as much as last year) all the best Steffen

oooh boy ... I just found out what this bunch will cost me .... well above 100 Euro (not including customs and p&p) ... and the Euro is not that bad against the dollar at the moment... But i think I will jump deeper into the red numbers and buy at least the canopy... greets Steffen P.S. Props and canopy are mine ... more maybe next month
