1:48 L-39 Albatros open footsteps

Quickboost L-39 Albatros - Open Footsteps 1:48

A detailed resin accessory from Quickboost (Aires). It is not an aircraft model but a set of open footsteps - the exposed steps the crew uses to climb in. The accessory is intended for building a model of the Czech trainer L-39 Albatros in 1:48 scale and replaces the simpler plastic solution with a more faithful, open version.

Working and use

• Before gluing, wash the remains of the mold release agent off the parts and let them dry.
• Cut the resin parts off the casting blocks with a sharp knife or a fine saw and clean the cut up.
• Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate, CA); cement for plastic does not hold on resin.
• Sand and cut with respiratory protection; do not inhale resin dust.
• The open footsteps are fitted to the side of the fuselage below the cockpit in place of the solid plastic steps.

Who the accessory is for

• Advanced modelers building an L-39 Albatros in 1:48 scale.
• Anyone interested in a more faithful, three-dimensional version of the steps for access to the cockpit.
• Modelers used to working with fine resin parts and super glue.

The accessory contains no model and no glue. The parts are small and fragile - work carefully, in a ventilated space and with respiratory protection. Keep out of the reach of children.
