About product

Bf 109F/G Tropical Filter, Early Version (1:48, Quickboost)

This is NOT an airplane model but a precisely cast resin accessory of the Quickboost brand in 1:48 scale. It replaces the simplified plastic part of the tropical dust filter on the supercharger intake and gives a model of the Messerschmitt Bf 109F and G fighting in North Africa and the Mediterranean a crisper, more faithful detail. It is the early shape variant of the filter.

The real subject

The so-called Tropenfilter (sand filter) was fitted to machines operating over the desert, where fine sand destroyed engines. The filter was mounted over the mouth of the supercharger intake on the left side of the fuselage and protected the Daimler-Benz powerplant from dust. The early and the late versions differed in the shape of the filter body.

Fitting and tips

First wash the part free of the remains of the mold release agent, cut off the casting block carefully and level the surface. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Do the sanding with respiratory protection. Once it is cleaned up, the filter can simply be sprayed together with the fuselage.

Who the set is for

  • modelers building tropical versions of the Bf 109F/G
  • anyone interested in maximum fidelity at the supercharger intake
  • more advanced builders used to working with resin
  • collectors of detail accessories for an aircraft collection

Supplied as an unpainted resin accessory. Paints, glue and the model are not included in the package.

FAQ

No, it is a resin accessory in its own right, a replacement tropical intake filter that refines the detail of your Bf 109F/G model.

The early and the late variants differ in the shape of the filter body. This set matches the early version.

Resin parts are glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), not with ordinary cement for plastic.
