Resin barrels and a machine gun for the Fokker G.1 in 1:48 scale from the brand Quickboost. An accessory that replaces the barrels of the forward gun battery and the flexible machine gun of the rear position.
Responsibility details are not available.
A resin set for a plastic model of the Dutch twin-boom Fokker G.1. It is not a kit but a detail accessory focused on the armament: according to its name it contains barrels for the guns in the nose of the nacelle and a machine gun for the rear position. These are precisely the parts that tend to be least convincing in plastic, because an injection mold forces them to be thick and with a closed muzzle. A resin casting holds a slender diameter and fine detail on the weapon.
The Fokker G.1 was a twin-engine, twin-boom aircraft of Dutch design from the end of the 1930s, conceived as a heavy fighter and ground-attack machine. Characteristic features were the concentrated battery of gun armament in the nose of the short central nacelle and a flexible gun position in its rear. The arrangement with tail booms gave it a silhouette that cannot be mistaken, and it is therefore a rewarding subject among modelers.
This is one of those sets that are fitted at the end of a build. Wash the castings first in warm water with detergent. Cut the thin barrels off on a surface with a sharp scalpel or a fine-toothed saw and never hold them in your fingers by the free end - in bending they are fragile. Remove the original plastic barrels and if necessary clean the holes out with a micro drill, so that the new parts drop in without pressure. They are glued with cyanoacrylate glue, of which a minute drop on the tip of a needle is enough. Paint the weapons separately: a dark steel base, a gentle polish with graphite, and on the machine gun in the cockpit you can carefully suggest worn finish where the gunner held it. Only then glue the parts in, ideally after the varnish and the decals.
This is an accessory for a plastic kit, not a model in its own right. It is supplied unpainted; paints, glue and the kit are not included in the package.
