About product

Covered air intakes on an F-14 model

Replacement parts from Quickboost for a model of the Grumman F-14 Tomcat in 1:48 scale. They fit into the rectangular air intakes on the sides of the forward fuselage and close them the way it is done on parked aircraft in reality. The covers are part of the equipment the ground crew fits to a machine once the engines are shut down, so that dirt and small objects cannot get into the intake ducts.

When to reach for the covers

They suit a build of an aircraft standing on deck or on the apron, ideally as part of a scene with ground crew, a tow tractor or loaded weapons. They also save work in the intake ducts: on a Tomcat model the inside of these is hard to polish and spray, and with the intakes closed nobody looks into them. For a model in a flying pose they are not suitable, because there the intakes should be open.

  • air intake covers for an F-14 Tomcat model
  • 1:48 scale
  • suitable for a parked machine and for a ramp scene
  • they save the preparation of the inside of the intake ducts
  • bonded with super glue

Preparation and painting

Before gluing, try the covers dry in both intakes, cut the excess material away with a sharp blade a little way from the part and sand the rest so that the edge lines up with the outline of the intake. The parts are not polystyrene and are bonded with super glue. Wash and degrease them before painting, otherwise the paint will rub off the smooth surface while you handle them. It is best to paint them aside and fit them to the finished model.

FAQ

Air intake covers for an F-14 Tomcat model in 1:48 scale. The kit, paints and glue are not part of the delivery.

No. In flight the intakes are open; the covers match a parked machine on deck or on the apron.

With the covers in place the ducts cannot be seen, so sanding and spraying them falls away. The cover does have to seat without a gap, though.

Cut off the excess material, sand the edge, wash and degrease. Only then apply the paint.
