Quickboost 1:48 Fw 190D-9 — the air intake is a resin replacement part which takes the place of the kit intake on the model. It is not a kit but an accessory for the Fw 190D-9 kit from Eduard — you have to have the model.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is not an aircraft kit. It is an accessory for a kit: a resin part which on the Fw 190D-9 model in 1:48 scale takes the place of the kit air intake. The set is intended for the kit from Eduard. The model itself is not included in the package and you have to own it. The Quickboost range comes from the resin workshop Aires and rests on a simple idea: a quick intervention with a big visual effect.
An injection-molded plastic part is made in a mold that has technological limits — the intake tends to be blanked off or to have thick walls, and viewed close up it is obvious that it leads nowhere. The resin replacement is cast with thin walls and an open, through-flowing mouth, so the intake looks like a real duct drawing in air. It is a detail that catches the eye at once on a finished model, because it lies right on the silhouette of the nose.
The Fw 190D-9, nicknamed the Dora, is a late version of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190. Unlike the original machines of the A series with a radial engine, it was given the Jumo 213 V12 engine, which called for a markedly lengthened nose — hence the German nickname Langnasen-Dora, the long-nosed Dora. That stretched nose is the main visual feature by which the D-9 differs at first sight from the common A series machine. The Dora was among the high-performing German fighters of the closing stage of the Second World War.
Cut the part off the casting block with a fine saw, sand the mating surface and wash the part in warm water with a detergent — that removes residues of mold release agent on which the paint would not hold. It is bonded with super glue (cyanoacrylate), as an ordinary cement for plastic does not dissolve resin. Apply a primer before painting. Sand resin wet and with respiratory protection.
The set is an accessory for a kit. The model itself, glue and paints are not included in the package.
