Quickboost 1:48 Su-27 Flanker front wheel fender, early version is an accessory set that replaces the coarsely molded plastic part with a fine casting.
Responsibility details are not available.
An accessory set from the Quickboost line made by the Czech producer Aires. It is not a model of the aircraft but a replacement for the fender above the nosewheel in the shape matching the early production version. The casting is thinner and more accurately shaped than the plastic part from a kit, on which a parting seam and too thick an edge are usually visible. The fender is clearly visible on a finished model from the front and from below, so replacing it shows at first glance.
The Sukhoi Su-27, NATO code name Flanker, is a Soviet heavy twin-engine air superiority fighter. Because its air intakes are placed low under the fuselage, there is a risk of small objects and debris from the runway being drawn in while taxiing. The fender above the nosewheel therefore deflects the stream of flying material and protects the engines from damage. Its shape changed during production and upgrades, so early and later aircraft differ in this detail and a modeler has to choose the form according to the particular machine being represented.
Wash the casting in lukewarm soapy water because of the mold release agent. Cut the casting block off with a fine saw and level the surface with abrasive paper used wet, and protect your airways when sanding resin. Remove the original plastic part and level the seating surface on the landing gear leg. It is glued with super glue applied on the tip of a wire. Apply a primer before painting, then the light shade of the landing gear parts; the effect is completed by a fine dark wash and light dust soiling of the lower edge.
This is an accessory set, not a complete model. It is supplied unpainted and unassembled; the paints, the glue and the base kit are not included in the package.
