About product

F-5A Freedom Fighter Air Scoops 1:72 (Quickboost)

This resin set from the Quickboost brand, made by Aires, brings faithfully cast auxiliary air scoops for a model of the Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter in 1:72 scale. It is not an airplane model but a detail accessory for more experienced modelers, replacing the simplified plastic parts with a sharper casting.

The real subject

The Northrop F-5A Freedom Fighter was an American light supersonic fighter powered by two jet engines. It was designed as an inexpensive and easily maintained aircraft and became the backbone of the fighter force in many countries. It was notable for its slim fuselage and good flying qualities.

Tips for working with resin

First wash the castings in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue from the mold. Cut the casting blocks off with a sharp saw or knife and sand the cut surfaces with your airways protected. Bond the parts with super glue (cyanoacrylate), not with ordinary plastic cement. Try the fit dry before painting, as resin may call for a little clean-up.

Who the set is for

  • More experienced modelers who want to raise the fidelity of the fuselage
  • Builders for whom the simplified parts from the plastic kit are not enough
  • Anyone interested in working with resin and fine castings
  • Collectors building models for contests and display cases

The set is supplied as a resin part, unassembled and unpainted. It is not an airplane model but an accessory for a plastic kit. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
