About product

F-14A Tomcat — gun cover (early) 1:48 (Quickboost)

A resin detail set in 1:48 scale from the Czech manufacturer Quickboost (Aires brand). It is not an airplane kit but an accurate replacement for the cover of the internal gun in its early form, for a plastic model of the American Grumman F-14A Tomcat fighter. The part is finely cast with a faithful shape and perforation, so it replaces the simplified plastic cover from the box and sharpens the nose section of the fuselage.

The real subject

The Grumman F-14 Tomcat was an American carrier fighter with a variable-geometry wing and for many years the backbone of US Navy fighter defense. Among its armament it carried a built-in rotary cannon whose cover had a characteristic form on the early aircraft. It is exactly these small differences that decide how faithful a particular version is.

Tips for working and painting

Wash the resin part to remove any mold release agent, cut off the casting block carefully and test-fit it; bond it with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Protect your airways when sanding resin. Prime the cover, blend it with the color of the fuselage and bring out the perforation and the engraving with a fine wash; set the metal areas apart with a steel shade.

Who the set is for

  • For builders of F-14A Tomcat models in 1:48 scale
  • For enthusiasts of US Navy carrier fighters
  • For modelers who want a faithful early gun cover
  • For more experienced builders used to working with resin

This is a resin detail set, not a kit. Paints, glue and the base model are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is a resin detail set — a replacement cover for the internal gun of a plastic F-14A Tomcat model. The kit itself has to be obtained separately.

On the early F-14A aircraft the gun cover had a characteristic shape. The set casts it faithfully, so that the model matches the given version exactly.

Working with resin means washing the part, cutting off the casting block and bonding with super glue, so it is better suited to more experienced modelers.
