About product

Aires 1:48 F3H-2 Demon resin landing gear bay

This resin detail set from Aires in 1:48 scale adds a faithfully rendered landing gear bay to a model of the McDonnell F3H-2 Demon. It is not an aircraft kit but an accessory that replaces the simplified plastic bay from the box with a finely detailed insert full of ribs, piping and rivets. The set is meant for more experienced modelers.

The real subject

The McDonnell F3H Demon was a subsonic swept-wing carrier fighter of the US Navy from the 1950s. The F3H-2 was powered by an Allison J71 turbojet with afterburner, and besides its role as an all-weather missile interceptor it could also attack ground targets. The Demon served as the Navy's front-line carrier fighter until the early 1960s and was the direct predecessor of the famous F-4 Phantom II.

Usage and painting tips

First wash the parts in lukewarm water with detergent to remove the mold release agent. Separate the parts from the casting blocks by cutting rather than snapping, and bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Sand the resin with airway protection or wet, because resin dust is harmful. Prime the inside of the bay and bring it out with a wash and a dry brush.

Who the set is for

  • Modelers building the F3H-2 Demon who want a realistic gear bay
  • More experienced builders used to working with resin
  • Enthusiasts of 1950s US Navy carrier aviation
  • Anyone looking for a marked gain in detail with a minimum of plastic work

It is supplied as an unassembled and unpainted resin set. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is an accessory: a resin landing gear bay that improves the detail of an F3H-2 Demon model. The model itself is not included.

Bond the resin with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Ordinary liquid cement for plastic does not hold on resin.

Yes. Washing in lukewarm water with detergent is advisable to remove the mold release agent, otherwise the paint holds poorly.

For models in 1:48 scale.
