This new conversion
set is produced in the Czech Republic by Master X and UMM-USA
is the only company selling this product in the USA. UMM-USA
is the company of Master Modeler John Vojtech.....builder of the Award winning
1/72 AC-130 at the 2005 US IPMS Nationals and the award winning 1/72 B-2 at
the 006 US IPMS Nationals.
This set is made
from resin is designed for the Monogram kit and includes both skis, attachment
parts for the landing gear and a decal sheet for a Ju-52 that served in
Russia. The decals are of a high quality and have solid colours, but
appear beautifully thin.

You
get enough parts for the skis for the main landing gear as well as a little ski
to replace the tail wheel. The ski halves line up will but they will
require a tiny bit of sanding on a sheet of sand paper laid flat on a desk to
get a clean mating surface. The instructions are simple and easy to
follow.
I have a
deep fascination for winter aircraft, so this set caught my interest and
will give you a exciting new option for that Ju-52 you have sitting in
your kit stash.
You can buy
this set for $24.00 directly from John at
UMM-USA.
Their website also includes a float conversion set for the 1/48
Ju-52. I'd like to thank
UMM-USA
for sending me this review sample.
