About product

Quickboost 1:48 Hawker Typhoon - resin exhausts

Quickboost is a supplementary range by the company Aires focused on quick and straightforward improvements to kits. This set offers exhausts cast in resin as a replacement for the plastic parts on a Hawker Typhoon model in 1:48 scale. The main advantages are the drilled (open) exhaust openings, since plastic exhausts from kits tend to be blind, and finer surface detail including a more accurate shape of the stacks. This is not a kit: neither the aircraft model nor plastic parts are included in the package.

The real subject

The Hawker Typhoon was a British fighter-bomber of the Second World War with the powerful Napier Sabre engine. As a high-altitude fighter it did not do particularly well, but it made its name in attacks on ground targets: with bombs and rockets it became one of the most feared weapons against vehicles and lines of communication. The short side exhausts at the engine are among its most conspicuous details and tend to be sooted, so on a model every inaccuracy shows.

Use and fitting

  • Carefully cut the parts off the casting blocks (with a saw or a cutter, do not snap them).
  • Sand the remains of the blocks away; sand wet and with respiratory protection, as resin dust must not be inhaled.
  • Before gluing, wash the parts in lukewarm water with dish soap (remains of mold release agent keep paint from holding).
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate; ordinary cement for plastic does not work on resin.
  • Spray them with primer and complete the metallic shades with pigments or a wash for a sooted look.

Who the set is for

For modelers who want to raise one of the most visible details of a model quickly. Working with resin calls for a little experience (cutting, sanding, cyanoacrylate), but changing the exhausts is one of the easiest and most rewarding modifications there is.

This is an accessory for a model. The kit, glue and paints are not included in the package. When sanding resin, use respiratory protection and work wet.

FAQ

It is not. These are replacement resin exhausts that you fit to a Hawker Typhoon model you have already bought. The kit is not included in the package.

Cyanoacrylate. Ordinary cement for plastic will not dissolve resin and therefore will not bond it.

They have genuinely drilled openings, since plastic ones tend to be blind because of the mold technology, and finer, sharper detail. On a finished model it is one of the most visible differences.

Quickboost makes Typhoon exhausts in versions for different base kits, so always try the parts dry before gluing.
