If you haven’t built the Zvezda Bf-109F you have missed out on a real treat.  It contains an exceptional amount of detail, including an exposed engine, with extraordinary fit.  Sure there are some things that could be better.

One thing that you will notice is that the ailerons only has texture on one side.  Not a real big deal but something that they probably should have caught.  The other thing is the shape of the engine air intake which is slightly off.  Quickboost has fixed both problems with this set.

The three resin pieces are molded in light grey resin and are perfectly formed.  The intake is very thin and will look great.  Adding the parts is really easy.  Just remove them from the pour block and add them. 

This is not the first set that Quickboost has offered for the Zvezda kit, but it is the most important.  They also offer the fuel injector and exhausts.

Highly recommended

Thanks to Aires and IPMS/USA for the review copy.  You can obtain yours by contacting www.quickboost.net or your local hobby shop or online retailer.
