Hey.

Anybody know if the Pavla 1/72nd scale wing upgrade set for the Brewster Buffalo
could fit the Revell and/or Matchbox kit? I know it's designed for the Hasegawa
kit but I'd like some opinions on the Pavla set before I buy one.

Thanks in advance.

Stephen,

I just received the Pavla wing set from Hannants last week. It is an
amazing casting to say the least. I don't think it would work well on
the Matchbox kit. The main problem being the wheel well detail doesn't
seem to match up too well. It would also be a shame to combine the
beautiful petite castings from Pavla with Matchbox's trench lines. I
can't wait to see their cockpit set. I ordered that at the same time
but it was out of stock.

Forgot to mention that the tail flying surfaces are much thinner on the
Pavla than on the matchbox kit. It'd be a lot of work to get those to
fit well.
