Douglas C-47 Skytrain exhaust for Airfix, 1/72 - Quickboost QB72 462

Quickboost QB72 462 is a set of resin exhausts for the 1/72 scale model of the Douglas C-47 Skytrain Airfix. This detailing accessory lets you replace the exhaust parts included in the plastic kit with separate components designed for this reproduction of the famous transport aircraft.

The Douglas C-47 Skytrain is the military version of the Douglas DC-3. Used as a transport aircraft, it made aviation history and remains an iconic subject for modelers interested in World War II and post-war aircraft.

A 1/72 Airfix model accessory

Made from resin, this Quickboost set is intended for builders who want to refine the treatment of the exhaust outlets on their C-47 Skytrain Airfix in 1/72 scale. At this scale, every dimension of the real aircraft is reduced 72 times; small exterior details therefore contribute greatly to the realism of the final finish.

The resin parts should be prepared carefully before assembly. Attaching them to a plastic model is generally done with cyanoacrylate glue or an epoxy glue suitable for the job. Light sanding of the separation points helps ensure a clean fit before painting.

Finishing tips

After applying a primer compatible with resin, the exhausts can be painted metallic, followed by a light weathering to recreate the look of parts exposed to heat and fumes. Precise cutting tools, fine abrasive paper, and a suitable glue for resin parts are useful additions for installing this accessory.
