About product

Bracing Wire Covers F1M2 Pete 1:48 (Quickboost)

A resin detail set, not an airplane kit. This finely cast resin set contains streamlined covers for the bracing wires of the Japanese Mitsubishi F1M2 observation biplane floatplane, known to the Allies as Pete, in 1:48 scale. The covers refine the arrangement of the bracing between the wings and the floats, which tends to be simplified in the box. The set is meant for advanced modelers with resin experience.

What the set is for

On a biplane the system of bracing wires and their streamlined covers is a prominent feature that has a decisive effect on how convincing the build looks. The resin covers have a finer section than the plastic parts from the box and make it easier to run the bracing cleanly. Once painted and cleaned up, they create a convincing impression of the real structure.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
  • Cut off the casting blocks and sand the surfaces with respiratory protection
  • Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate)
  • Check the position of the covers with a dry fit against the bracing plan

Who the set is for

  • For builders of the F1M2 Pete floatplane in 1:48 scale
  • For advanced modelers with resin experience
  • For lovers of accurate biplane structure

This is a resin detail accessory, not a model. The base kit, paints and glue are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. These are resin covers for the bracing that complete a kit you already own. The base aircraft model has to be bought separately.

They are streamlined covers for the bracing wires of a biplane. They refine the structure between the wings and the floats compared with the simplified parts from the box.

It takes a little experience. The parts are washed to remove mold release, cut off the casting blocks and bonded with super glue. Check the position with a dry fit.
