About product

Eduard 1:48 P-40 fishtail exhaust stacks (3D print)

This set from the Czech manufacturer Eduard contains 3D printed fishtail exhaust stacks intended for models of the American Curtiss P-40 fighter in 1:48 scale. It is neither a model of an aircraft nor a kit — it is an accessory (an upgrade) with which you replace the exhausts from the plastic kit. The parts are made by direct 3D printing, so they have sharper edges, finer surface detail and suggested hollow mouths of the kind injection-molded plastic usually cannot capture in this scale.

What the set is for

On the P-40 the exhausts sit in a very exposed place on the fuselage and the eye catches them first. That is exactly why replacing them is one of the fastest and most visible improvements to the whole model. The set is conceived as a direct replacement for the parts of the plastic P-40 kit in 1:48 scale — before gluing it is advisable to check the seating in the fuselage of your particular kit with a dry fit.

Recommended procedure

  • First wash the parts in lukewarm water with a little detergent and let them dry thoroughly — this removes print resin residue and the surface then takes paint better.
  • Cut the print supports off with a sharp scalpel or a fine saw and sand the remains down. Do the sanding with respiratory protection (a respirator) and ideally wet — resin dust must not be inhaled.
  • Bond with super glue (cyanoacrylate); ordinary cement for plastic does not work on resin.
  • Spray a primer and then a dark metallic shade; darken the mouths of the exhausts and finish the surface with rust and soot pigments or a wash — burnt metal is imitated well by a combination of brown, orange and graphite.

Who the set is for

For modelers who build the Curtiss P-40 in 1:48 scale and want to take the detail of the model beyond the contents of the box. Working with thin printed parts takes patience and a sharp tool, so the set will be appreciated by more advanced builders.

The accessory is supplied unpainted. The base model, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

It is not. It is an accessory — a set of 3D printed exhausts with which you replace the plastic parts on a Curtiss P-40 model in 1:48 scale that you already own.

Super glue (cyanoacrylate). Ordinary cement for polystyrene will not bond resin and printed parts.

Yes. Wash them in water with detergent, cut the print supports off, sand the marks they leave (with respiratory protection) and apply a primer.
