F-4E/EJ/F/J/S Phantom II vertical tail air inlet for Tamiya, 1/32 - Quickboost QB32 247

The reference Quickboost QB32 247 is a resin accessory intended for Tamiya 1/32 scale models of the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II in the F-4E, F-4EJ, F-4F, F-4J and F-4S versions. This set reproduces the air intakes located at the base of the vertical tail.

Designed to replace the corresponding parts of the plastic kit, this detailing set makes it possible to work on a highly visible area on the Phantom II’s tailplane. It is a dedicated solution for model makers who want to refine the representation of this section of the fuselage on their compatible Tamiya model.

Assembly and preparation

As with any resin part, it is recommended to carefully detach the elements from their casting sprue, then dry-fit them before gluing. Pre-cleaning helps prepare the surface prior to painting. A cyanoacrylate glue or a glue suitable for resin is generally used for assembling this type of accessory.

Painting can be done after installation or separately, depending on the assembly method chosen. A primer suited to resin usually helps achieve a uniform finish and brings out the details before applying the model’s paint shades.
