Griffon Model Accessories is a Czech company and a relatively recent arrival to the busy resin accessory marketplace. One of their latest releases is a set of flaps for Trumpeter's big 1/48 scale Wellington Mk.I or Mk. III kits.

Griffon's 1/48 scale Wellington Flaps set comprises 30 parts in pale cream coloured resin, one sheet of photo-etched parts and a roll of copper wire.

The resin parts are beautifully cast and very well detailed. Casting blocks are sensibly attached via fine strips to avoid too much complex cutting.

The two photo-etched frets provide detail to the flap bay ceiling on the underside of the upper wing. These parts include delicate individual ribs.

The copper wire is intended to be used as non-workable" hinges for the flaps.

Instructions are supplied on a double-sided sheet of A4 paper, with seven clearly illustrated construction steps.

Griffon's 1/48 scale Wellington flaps will really add a new dimension of detail to your Trumpeter kit, but some experience working with resin and tiny photo-etched parts will be essential before considering this project.

Highly Recommended to experienced modellers.

Thanks to Griffon Model Accessories for the review sample.
