About product

Quickboost F-8 Crusader cooling air scoops 1:48

Resin castings of the cooling air scoops for the American F-8 Crusader carrier fighter in 1:48 scale from Quickboost. These are the small fuselage scoops through which air flows to cool the accessories and the powerplant. It is not an airplane model, but a precise accessory for experienced modelers that replaces the solid or simplified parts from the kit with faithful castings with the openings suggested, so that the surface of the fuselage looks realistic.

What the part is for

The F-8 Crusader was an American supersonic carrier fighter, famous for its variable-incidence wing, which made landing on a carrier easier. It served mainly with the US Navy and the Marine Corps. The small fuselage scoops are often molded flat and without openings on a model; swapping them for resin parts with the intakes suggested brings the surface to life.

Usage tips

Wash the resin parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove the mold release agent. Cut the casting blocks off with a sharp knife or a saw and sand the surfaces; protect your airways when sanding resin. Sand the original molded scoops off the model and replace them with the resin parts, gluing them with cyanoacrylate glue. Level the transitions with filler if needed and repaint in the fuselage shade.

Who the part is for

  • For modelers building the F-8 Crusader in 1:48 scale
  • For more experienced builders who want a faithful fuselage surface
  • For lovers of American carrier aircraft
  • For those who refine their models in detail

It is supplied as an unpainted resin accessory for completing a model. Glue, paints and the model itself are not included in the package.
