About product

Quickboost 1:72 F-35 A/B/C Lightning II, resin opened boarding ladder (for the Tamiya kit)

This item is not an aircraft model but a detail accessory: a resin boarding ladder in the extended, that is open, position for a model of the F-35 A/B/C Lightning II in 1:72 scale. The set is intended for the Tamiya kit and is made by Quickboost, a brand of the Czech company Aires. The F-35 kit has to be obtained separately.

What the accessory is for

The F-35 has its boarding ladder built directly into the fuselage behind the cockpit and in service it swings out. Kits, however, typically offer it only in the closed position as part of the fuselage skin, so the model looks like an aircraft ready for takeoff. This accessory supplies the open, extended version, which lets the model be displayed in a ground scene, with the canopy open, a pilot figure or ground crew. A resin casting can manage the thin rungs and the frame of the ladder in 1:72 scale, which in injection-molded plastic could only be made in a coarser form.

Recommended procedure with resin

  • Wash the part in lukewarm soapy water, which removes the mold release agent so that the paint will hold.
  • Cut it off the casting block with a fine saw or a cutting disc, and never break it off, as the thin rungs are fragile.
  • Sand the cut with respiratory protection (a respirator, or wet sanding), as resin dust is harmful to health.
  • Try the opening in the fuselage dry and adjust it so that the ladder sits at the right angle.
  • Glue with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue), then spray a primer and the paint; fit the ladder only at the end of the build.

Who the accessory is for

For modelers who build the F-35 in 1:72 scale from the Tamiya kit and want to display the model in a ground scene or a diorama with the ladder open. Because of the work with resin and small parts it is an accessory rather for advanced modelers.

The accessory is supplied unpainted and is intended for a kit that is not included in the package. Glue, paints and other accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise. Use respiratory protection when sanding resin.

FAQ

No. It is only an accessory, a resin boarding ladder in the extended position. The F-35 kit in 1:72 scale from Tamiya has to be bought separately.

This version represents the ladder swung out of the fuselage, that is the state during boarding and leaving the aircraft. It suits a model displayed in a ground scene; the closed version matches an aircraft ready for takeoff.

First wash it in soapy water, cut it off the casting block, sand it with respiratory protection, try the fit dry and glue it with cyanoacrylate glue (super glue). Lay down a primer before painting.
