1:48 F4F Wildcat exhaust

Quickboost F4F Wildcat exhausts (1:48)

A resin detail set of the Quickboost brand with exhausts for a model of the American carrier-based Grumman F4F Wildcat fighter in 1:48 scale. The castings have open outlets and a fine texture that the plastic parts of a kit cannot reach. This is an accessory for a kit, not the aircraft model itself.

The real subject

The Grumman F4F Wildcat was an American carrier-based fighter of the Second World War with a radial engine. It served above all with the navy in the early years of the war in the Pacific. The exhausts belong to the engine section and are clearly visible on a model.

Building tips

Wash the mold release agent off the parts, cut off the casting blocks and bond them with cyanoacrylate glue. Pick out the exhaust outlets with a dark metallic shade and a hint of burnt edges.

Who the set is for

• Modelers who want realistic exhausts with open outlets.
• Builders of Second World War carrier fighters in 1:48 scale.
• Anyone looking for a quick way to raise the fidelity of the engine section.

The kit itself and the glue are not included in the package.
