About product

A-4 IDF Skyhawk exhaust nozzle 1:48 (Quickboost)

A resin detail part, not an airplane kit. This set of finely cast resin from the Quickboost (Aires) brand replaces the exhaust nozzle of the American Douglas A-4 Skyhawk carrier-based attack aircraft in the version of the Israeli Air Force in 1:48 scale. Israeli Skyhawks were given a characteristically extended jet pipe, which moved the heat source back behind the tail surfaces and so cut the vulnerability to infrared-guided missiles. The part captures this unmistakable shape of the tail end faithfully.

What the set is for

The extended nozzle is a recognition mark of the Israeli Skyhawks and changes the whole silhouette of the tail end. Plastic kits usually do not hold it, so this replacement is the key to building a faithful Israeli machine. The casting captures the correct length as well as the inner texture of the mouth, which plastic cannot manage in this scale.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
  • Cut off the casting blocks and sand the surfaces with respiratory protection
  • Glue with super glue (cyanoacrylate)
  • Check the join to the fuselage with a dry fit, and sand and fill the transition if need be
  • Paint the nozzle in metallic and heat-resistant shades with heat staining

Who the set is for

  • For builders of Israeli A-4 Skyhawks in 1:48 scale
  • For more advanced modelers with experience of resin
  • For lovers of a faithful and unmistakable Israeli version

This is a resin detail accessory, not a model. The base kit, the paints and the glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. This is a resin exhaust nozzle that will round out a kit you already own. The base model of the airplane has to be bought separately.

Extending the jet pipe moved the heat source back behind the tail surfaces and cut the vulnerability to infrared-guided missiles. It is a recognition mark of the Israeli machines.

It takes a little experience. The parts are washed free of mold release residue, cut off the casting blocks and glued with super glue. Do the sanding with respiratory protection.
