About product

Exhausts for the F4F-4 Wildcat 1:72 (Quickboost)

A set of resin exhaust stubs for the American Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat carrier fighter in 1:72 scale from Quickboost. It is not an airplane model but an exactly cast detail part that will replace the coarser exhausts from the base kit with a more accurate shape with drilled-out openings.

What the part is for

The F4F-4 was the most widespread version of the Wildcat, the carrier fighter of the US Navy used at the beginning of the war in the Pacific. The air-cooled Pratt and Whitney R-1830 Twin Wasp radial engine led its gases away through ejector exhausts that came out along the sides of the fuselage behind the engine cowling. The replacement resin stubs have crisper detail and open mouths, so the side of the fuselage behind the engine looks more realistic than the solid part from an injection mold.

Usage and painting tips

Resin parts need more careful preparation: wash them in lukewarm soapy water to remove mold release residue, separate them from the casting block carefully and bond them with super glue (cyanoacrylate); protect your airways while sanding. Paint the exhausts with a combination of rust, dark metal and burnt steel shades and add weathered pigment and soot streaks running backward.

Who the part is for

  • Modelers building the F4F-4 Wildcat in 1:72 scale
  • Anyone after more accurate exhausts with open mouths
  • Collectors of American carrier aircraft from the beginning of the war in the Pacific
  • Builders who like to bring out the engine area with weathering

The part is supplied as a resin accessory, unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and the base kit are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.

FAQ

No. These are resin exhaust stubs, a detail accessory for an F4F-4 kit. The base model has to be bought separately.

They have a crisper casting and open mouths, so the side of the fuselage behind the engine looks more realistic than a solid part limited by an injection mold.

They are washed to remove mold release, cut off the casting block and bonded with super glue. Sand with respiratory protection.
