About product

In-Flight Refueling Probe A-4 Skyhawk – 1:48 (Quickboost)

A resin detail part, not an airplane kit. This fine resin casting replaces the probe for taking on fuel in flight on the American Douglas A-4 Skyhawk carrier attack aircraft in 1:48 scale. This characteristic feature on the nose of the fuselage tends to be too coarse in plastic; the resin replacement offers a more accurate, thinner and cleaner rendering. The part is meant for modelers who want to refine the silhouette of the aircraft without laborious rework.

What the part is for

The refueling probe is a slender, clearly visible feature on the nose of the Skyhawk, and how fine it is has a decisive effect on the overall impression a model makes. The casting captures the thin section and the tip of the probe, which are hard to achieve on a thicker plastic part. Once cleaned up and painted, the nose of the aircraft looks far more accurate and convincing in scale.

Usage tips

  • Wash the part in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
  • Cut off the casting block carefully and sand the surface with respiratory protection
  • Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate)
  • Handle the slender part with care so that it does not break

Who the part is for

  • For builders of the A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft in 1:48 scale
  • For modelers who want an accurate, thin probe without reworking the plastic
  • For lovers of American carrier aircraft and fine detail

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

FAQ

No. It is a resin refueling probe that completes a kit you already own. The base aircraft model has to be bought separately.

The resin casting is thinner and cleaner than the thick plastic part, so the nose of the Skyhawk looks more accurate and closer to scale.

It is easy here, just handle the slender part with care. It is cut off the casting block and bonded with super glue. Sand with respiratory protection.
