This new resin item from Cutting Edge Modelworks includes a single part:  a Dual Rail Adapter for Trumpeter's 1/32 A-10 Warthog kit.  This part is the ADU-597/A adapter with two LAU-105/A Sidewinder rails attached, and carries two AIM-9L/M Sidewinder missiles.  The part is a direct replacement for the part in the Trumpeter kit.  My DRA arrived in perfect order, with only a small amount of flash to clean up where the forward part of the missile rails meet the adapter body.  No instructions are provided for this detail set, as they are not needed....simply remove the molding gate at the rear of the DRA, give it a few swipes with a sanding stick, and you're good to go.

As with all of the detail parts and sets offerred by Cutting Edge for the Trumpeter A-10, this is yet another welcome addition.  Cutting Edge also make a number of other parts and detail sets for the A-10, including a cockpit set, external detail set, gun muzzle, and instrument panels.  All of these will be a great help in superdetailing your next 1/32 Hog.  I would like to thank Cutting Edge Modelworks for providing me with this review sample.
