| Infini Models has sent along some various items for us to review. Among them are set IMP-35004R1, WW2 U.S. Navy Radar Set. The set contains photo-etch versions of the various radars used by the USN in World War 2: XAF, CXAM, CXAM-1, SK, SK-2, SC, SM, SG and YE. | |||||||||||

| THE FRET | |||||||||||
| The set consists of one photo-etch fret, with around a dozen different radars - one each of the "big" sets, and two each of the SC, SC-2, etc. The radars are all nicely etched and nicely detailed, with most of the sets having multiple parts. The set also includes a bag of turned brass parts, which supply the posts, and in some cases, the radar wave guide, for the photo-etch parts. These are probably the best radar sets I've seen in photo-etch. | |||||||||||

| There are very nicely done, and should help those
modelers wishing to upgrade the radar suite on their US Navy scale fleet.
While this set is courtesy of INFINI models, I previously purchased this
set for myself, and have used both the SC and SG radars on a few of my
builds. Overall, I was pleased with how they came out, and
the inclusion of the turned brass posts is a really nice touch.
This is INFINI Model's set IMP-35004R1, WW2 U.S. Navy Radar Set. It retails for $28.99, and is available from many of our sponsors. Thanks to INFINI Models for the review sample. Highly recommended. |
