About product

Quickboost 1:72 A-4 Skyhawk - Ejection Seat with Belts

A replacement ejection seat for a model of the American A-4 Skyhawk carrier attack aircraft in 1:72 scale. It is made by Quickboost, the accessory range of the Czech company Aires, and the part is cast in resin. It is not a kit or an aircraft model: it is a detail accessory for a cockpit. The model, glue and paints are not in the package.

The main advantage: the belts are part of the casting

The seat has the safety belts cast directly in the part. That is a fundamental difference from the bare seat out of the box: you do not need a photo-etched set and you do not have to make the belts from strips of foil, and the result still looks realistic. The belts are not suggested by engraving; they have real volume and the carelessly thrown shape they have in an empty cockpit.

On the Skyhawk that matters exceptionally. It was a small light attack aircraft for carrier service, and you can really see into its well glazed cockpit. The seat is therefore the most conspicuous feature of the interior, and it is exactly the seat that tends to be simplified into a boxy block on plastic kits in 1:72.

Use

  • Separate the seat from the casting block with a saw, level the bottom surface and try it dry in the tub of the cockpit.
  • Do the sanding wet and with respiratory protection: do not breathe resin dust in.
  • Wash the part in lukewarm soapy water before gluing (mold release residue).
  • Glue it with super glue (cyanoacrylate); ordinary cement for plastic will not bite into resin.
  • Apply a primer; then pull the belts out in a different shade and bring the stitching and the buckles out with a fine wash.
  • Set the seat in before the fuselage is closed up, while the cockpit is still easy to reach.

Who the set is for

For modelers who are building the Skyhawk in 1:72 and want a finished, convincing cockpit without the laborious making of belts. It is one of the fastest improvements there is: one part, one gluing, and the interior moves up a class at once.

An accessory for modelers, not a toy. Sand resin wet, in a ventilated space and with respiratory protection. Super glue sticks skin instantly as well; protect your eyes and hands.

FAQ

It is not. The package contains only the replacement ejection seat. It does not contain an A-4 Skyhawk kit in 1:72, glue or paints; those have to be obtained separately.

No, and that is the main advantage of this set. The safety belts are cast directly in the part, so neither a photo-etched set nor strips of foil of your own are needed. You only paint them differently and bring them out with a wash.

Separate it from the casting block, wash it in soapy water, glue it with super glue and apply a primer. Paint only on the primer: on smooth resin the paint would otherwise hold badly.

Best while the cockpit is being built, that is before the fuselage is closed up, while the space is still easy to reach. A dry fit first and leveling the bottom surface if needed are worth it.
