About product

Su-25 Frogfoot - Remove Before Flight covers in 1:48

This item is not a model of the aircraft but an accessory set for an existing model of the Su-25 attack aircraft in 1:48. It concerns Remove Before Flight covers, that is the items ground crew fit over sensitive places on the airframe while the machine stands on the ramp and take off again before takeoff. Behind the Quickboost brand stands the Czech manufacturer Aires, which has long specialized in small resin replacements of this kind.

The real subject

The Sukhoi Su-25, Frogfoot under the NATO reporting name, is a single-seat attack aircraft meant for direct support of ground units. It first flew in the 1970s and its whole design puts the emphasis on toughness at low altitude: the cockpit is protected by a welded titanium tub, the key systems are duplicated and the aircraft is built to operate from simple surfaces. It carries gun armament and a wide range of external stores and serves in a number of countries to this day.

Usage and painting tips

Covers of this type are in reality markedly red with white lettering. It therefore pays to paint them separately and to fit them to the model at the very end. A saturated red comes out better over a light base, so it is a good idea to lay white or light gray under it. Use cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) for gluing and handle the parts with tweezers.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers who build the Su-25 in 1:48
  • Builders of dioramas and scenes with an aircraft on the ramp and ground crew
  • Anyone after a quick way to raise the credibility of a finished model
  • Builders who are comfortable with small parts and cyanoacrylate glue (super glue)

FAQ

No. It is an accessory set for a model of the Su-25 in 1:48. The aircraft itself is not included in the package.

In real service they protect sensitive places on the aircraft while it stands on the ground. Ground crew have to remove them before takeoff, which is why they are conspicuously red with warning lettering.

With small resin parts, cyanoacrylate glue (super glue) works well. Ordinary plastic cement does not hold on resin.

Painting and any finishing is up to the modeler. Paints and glue are not included in the package.
