Quickboost 1:48 - a resin air intake for the Harrier T2/T4/T8 is a replacement part for a plastic kit of the two-seat Harrier, not a model of the aircraft in its own right.
Responsibility details are not available.
This is a resin replacement part in 1:48 scale from Quickboost. It replaces the engine air intake on a plastic kit of the two-seat Harrier in the T2, T4 and T8 versions. The set is not a model of the aircraft and cannot be built on its own - it allows for a base kit into which the part is glued in place of the original plastic one.
The Harrier T2, T4 and T8 are the two-seat training variants of the British first-generation V/STOL aircraft. Against the single-seat machines they have a lengthened nose with a second cockpit and a reworked rear end with a taller vertical tail. The intake to the vectored-thrust engine remains a prominent mark of the whole family and, on models, is among the places where the parting line of the plastic parts shows most - which is why it is the intake that gets replaced with a one-piece casting.
Wash the resin parts first in lukewarm water with detergent, so that any residue of mold release agent disappears - otherwise paint will not hold. Cut the casting blocks off with a saw or a cutting disc, never snap them off, and level the face with abrasive paper; when sanding resin, work wet and with your airways protected. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), as ordinary plastic cement does not hold on resin. Before clear-coating, a filler primer helps to even the surface of the resin out with the surrounding plastic. The inside of the intake is best painted and polished before the airframe is closed up.
The accessory is supplied unpainted and without a base kit. Glue, paints and a kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
