About product

Quickboost 1:72 - air intake for the English Electric Lightning

This is a resin detail part for more experienced modelers, not an airplane model. The precisely cast front air intake replaces the plastic part from the kit of the British English Electric Lightning interceptor in 1:72 scale. The resin version holds a truer shape of the shock cone and a cleaner outline of the intake than injection-molded plastic can manage. The accessory is made by the Czech brand Quickboost (Aires).

The real subject

The English Electric Lightning was a British supersonic interceptor of the late 1950s with the unusual arrangement of two engines stacked one above the other. A characteristic feature of the nose is the circular air intake with a central cone, which served as a shock cone and at the same time housed the aircraft radar antenna. It is exactly this prominent part of the aircraft that the part captures.

Fitting tips

First wash the part in lukewarm water with a few drops of dish soap, so that any mold release residue disappears. Cut off the casting block with a saw or a knife, sand the surface and glue the part in with super glue (cyanoacrylate). When sanding resin, protect your airways with a respirator and work with extraction. Apply a primer before painting.

Who the set is for

  • Builders of the Lightning in 1:72 scale who care about a faithful nose
  • More experienced modelers used to working with resin
  • Modelers looking for a cleaner intake shape than the plastic gives
  • Collectors who want to lift a production kit

An accessory for a plastic kit. The model itself, glue and paints are not included in the package.

FAQ

No. It is a resin detail part, specifically the front air intake, with which you replace the plastic part on a Lightning model. The kit itself has to be bought separately.

Casting resin. Working with it is more demanding than with plastic, so it suits more experienced modelers.

Wash it to remove the release agent, cut off the casting block, sand the surface and glue the part in with super glue (cyanoacrylate). Apply a primer before painting.
