About product

Ventral fin of the F-105 Thunderchief 1:48 (Quickboost)

A resin detail part, not an airplane kit. This set of finely cast resin from the Quickboost (Aires) brand brings a correctly shaped ventral fin, that is the lower keel, of the American Republic F-105 Thunderchief supersonic fighter-bomber in 1:48 scale. This tough machine, nicknamed Thud, carried a large ventral fin for directional stability at high speeds; some kits have it inaccurate, and the part replaces it with a faithful rendition.

What the set is for

On the Thunderchief the ventral fin is a prominent item of the tail end, and seen from the side it sets its characteristic silhouette. Replacing the plastic part with a casting with the correct outline and section lifts the fidelity of a model. The casting has sharp edges and a clean shape, which the plastic from the box does not always reach.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
  • Cut off the original inaccurate part and sand the area with respiratory protection
  • Cut off the casting block and level the mating surface
  • Glue with super glue (cyanoacrylate)
  • Check the seating and the vertical alignment with a dry fit before fixing it

Who the set is for

  • For builders of the F-105 Thunderchief fighter-bomber in 1:48 scale
  • For more advanced modelers with experience of resin
  • For lovers of accurate outlines and a faithful silhouette

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 ventral fin that will round out a kit you already own. The base model of the airplane has to be bought separately.

It is the lower keel under the tail end of the fuselage, which raises directional stability at high speeds. The part replaces an inaccurately shaped plastic part with an accurate casting.

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.
