1:48 McDonnell F-4B Phantom refueling probe PRINT is a resin refueling probe from the Czech manufacturer Eduard for a model in 1:48 scale. It is an accessory to a kit, not a model in its own right.
Responsibility details are not available.
A small accessory set from the Czech company Eduard that replaces a part of the refueling equipment on a plastic model in 1:48 scale you have already bought. It is not a kit of the aircraft. The PRINT designation refers to the production of the resin part by printing: slender, long and thin components then come out straight and with a sharp surface, which is a problem with injection-molded plastic, because such parts fill poorly in the mold and warp once removed.
The F-4B is an early production version of the twin-engine two-seat carrier-based aircraft from McDonnell. The carrier-based form of the Phantom took on fuel through an extendable device on the right side of the forward fuselage, which connected in flight to the hose of a tanker aircraft. In the extended position it is a conspicuous element of the silhouette, while when retracted it is covered by a fairing flush with the skin. The model can thus be built in either state according to the scene you want to evoke.
Wash the part in lukewarm soapy water first to get rid of any print resin residue. Cut the print supports off with a saw or a knife and never snap them, as a thin part would break. Sand wet and protect your airways. It is glued with cyanoacrylate glue or a two-part epoxy; plastic cement will not help. Apply a thin primer before painting. Because this is an exposed part at the edge of the fuselage, we recommend fitting it at the end of the build, when you will no longer be turning the model in your hand.
The set is an accessory for a plastic model, not a kit in its own right. The model, glue and paints are not included in the package. The target kit is not stated here, so check the match with your model beforehand.
