The conversion is very straight forward and includes the 4 parts you'll need for the RA-5C late style Seamless Intakes & Full Throats on both sides.  This set provides properly configured (Dash 10 engine) intakes and seamless full intake throats for the late Viggie.  Also included is the "thumb" shaped part at the aft end of the fuselage is more-or-less correct for the EARLY RA-5Cs, it is not useful for the later models. Therefore, our set includes a properly shaped and configured rear fuselage part for the later (Dash 10) Viggies.

Resin casting is of a very high quality and all the detail is very well done with no air bubbles.  This new resin set from Cutting Edge Modelworks will permit modelers to build the later style of the RA-5C Vigilante.

I would like to thank Cutting Edge Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
