| CONCLUSIONS | |||
 Paired
with the Model Master brass yard arms set this give the model builder an
excellent set of options for replacing weak kit mast, especially those
cast in resin. I have used these before and they solder up nicely and provide
a strong mast for rigging without sag.
The sets retails for $10.95 each but are available from Freetime Hobbies for $5.95. Thanks to Model Master for the review samples. Highly Recommended. Check the list of stores that sell the line on the Master Model website. |
