About product

Pitot tube F4F Wildcat 1:48 (Quickboost)

A resin detail part, not an airplane kit. A finely cast resin pitot tube, the airspeed sensor, that replaces the coarser or vulnerable plastic part on the wing of the American carrier-based F4F Wildcat fighter in 1:48 scale.

The real subject and what the part is for

The Grumman F4F Wildcat was an American single-seat carrier-based fighter with a radial engine, the main carrier fighter of the US Navy and the Marine Corps in the first years of the war in the Pacific. It stood out for its toughness and became a mainstay of the US Navy in the difficult period after Pearl Harbor. The pitot tube on the wing is a small but conspicuous detail; a thin, crisp casting reads more convincingly and is more robust than a thicker plastic part.

Usage tips

  • Wash the parts in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue
  • Cut off the casting blocks and clean up the surfaces with respiratory protection
  • Bond them with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue); plastic cement does not hold on resin
  • Fit the thin part at the very end of the build so that it does not break while the model is handled

Who the part is for

  • For builders of the F4F Wildcat fighter in 1:48 scale
  • For modelers who are bothered by a coarse plastic pitot tube
  • For advanced modelers with resin experience

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

FAQ

No. This is a resin replacement part, a pitot tube, which completes and refines an F4F Wildcat kit in 1:48 scale that you already own.

Use cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Plastic cement does not hold on resin.

For more advanced modelers with experience of working with resin and cleaning up joints.
