Review
This is a quick in-box review of two similar products. I decided to combine the two since they are basically identical with the difference being the long and short missiles.
This is Plus Model's Aero line of resin accessaries for 1/48 scale aircraft. Each of these has 13 resin parts and a PE fret with 44 parts. The largest of the PE parts are the 8 fins for the missles, and the remaining are straps for the missiles.
All parts are well detailed and free of any flaws. The missles are straight and show no warpage at all. The set comes with instructions for the assembly and are easy to follow.

Conclusion
Without any reference material to compare to, I can't say if the measurements of the missiles are correct. These are nice sets that will be perfect if your placing a model on a base and need some space filler, and liven up the base.
I would like to thank Plus Model for supplying these review samples.
All in all this is a nice little figure in 1/48 scale a would look great standing next to a Me 109. There was very little clean up and the figure is basically ready for primer and painting.
I'd like to thank Plus Model for supplying this review sample from their Aero range of figures and other products

AERO Line
Pilot Me-109
Kit # 4035
Scale: 1/48 scale
Contents :
From the Plus Model aero-line range of 1/48 scale kits and accessaries comes an Me 109 fighter Pilot figure in cast resin. The kit contains just two parts and that being the nearly complete figure and one arm. The pilot is in a casual stance and smokng a cigarette. The figure comes in a clear vacumed package and foam is used to protect the parts. Sandwiched in the card packaging is a color drawinging to use as reference in painting the figure, be sure to remove this before discarding the packaging.
The Pilot is wearing thick leather boots, leather jacket, officers cap and a yellow life vest. He is also carrying a holstered pistol on his left side. There is some flash and mold seams that need cleaning but this is minor.
For the review I went ahead and cleaned the flash and mold seams and also glued the right arm in place. This was all pretty easy and quick to do, especially using CA to glue the arm on. I didn't see any flaws such as air bubbles, and the detailing looks to be very good as well.
Kit # 433

With more and more modelers building civilian subjects, modern military vehicles and dioramas it seems only natural that Plus Model release this set of two Plastic waste containers.
This set contains resin and PE parts to build two waste containers. The parts come sealed in a plastic bag and in a card box with photos of the assembled and painted containers. All resin parts are finely cast in a dark gray-greenish color, with the four large main parts being the two containers and lids. An instruction sheet is included in the set and is one page.

Waste Containers
There are twelve sprues with all the smaller parts such as the wheels, pivots etc. There are three identical pairs, four of one sprue and two remaining sprues with very small parts.
The small PE fret has eight parts that are for the wheel mounts and are pointed out in the instructions.

Overall this is a nice little set that I am sure will be a welcome addition for those who build modern, or present day dioramas and would like to add something to add some contrast of just fill a corner.
I would like to thank Plus Model for supplying these review samples.
