1:32 F-4C/D Phantom II vertical tail air inlet is a resin accessory from the Quickboost brand: a separate air inlet on the leading edge of the vertical tail for Phantom models in 1:32 scale.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is not an aircraft kit but a separate resin accessory from the Quickboost brand. It replaces the small air inlet placed on the leading edge of the vertical tail, that is exactly the kind of detail that tends to be simplified, blanked off or shifted by the mold parting line in an injection molding. The casting is executed in one piece with an open mouth, so once it is glued on you get a visible duct, which with a simplified plastic part usually has to be laboriously drilled out.
The McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II is a two-seat twin-engine jet aircraft that served with the US Navy and the US Air Force from the start of the 1960s. The F-4C and F-4D versions were intended for the land-based air arm and they differed from the naval machines above all in equipment and systems. The tail section of the airframe carried several smaller inlets and ducts whose shape and position changed between production batches.
First separate the part from the casting block with a fine-toothed saw and not with nippers, because resin is hard and brittle and tends to chip when it is squeezed. Level the cut with sanding paper on a flat surface. Then wash the whole casting in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue, because without that the paint only seems to hold. Sand the original shape on the plastic part flat, dry fit the accessory, check the angle against the leading edge and only then glue it with super glue. Fill the joint with a thin filler, spray it with filler primer and apply the paint together with the rest of the vertical tail, so that the shade carries on exactly.
The accessory is supplied unpainted and unassembled. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package. It is not a standalone model, because it requires a corresponding kit in 1:32 scale.
