US WWII Era Aircrew Parachutes. 1:32 True Details

Parachutes

True Details 1:32

 

 

True Details are renowned for their aftermarket sets for aircraft. Recently they have been releasing diorama pieces and these two sets come from that range. Each set comes packaged in a small blown poly box and protected by a foam insert. Each parachute is really well moulded, with all the straps, handles and clips well represented. Set one shows the parachute lying flat with the chute bag upright whilst set two has the parachute with the chute bag facing downwards ready to be put on. Apart from effective painting and shading the hardest part of using these sets will be removing them from the excess resin sheet, as there are areas that will need precision cutting with a nice new blade.
 

 

Conclusion
These are great little additions to the modeller's armoury. I’d imagine they’d be suitable for all aircraft in the USAAF inventory during WWII and will look good either lain on the wing or tailplane or with set two you could leave it on the seat in the cockpit. With careful painting these will look really good in any diorama. Recommended.

These look great.

I think True Detail are onto a winner here doing pseudo diorama stuff for us.

Now if they did airfield equipment too (RAF starter carts etc) they would get a lot of my cash.

Great review too.

Thanks,
