EA-6B Prowler air scoops for Kinetic, 1/48 - Quickboost QB48 544

Quickboost QB48 544 is a resin set of air intakes for scale models of the Grumman EA-6B Prowler Kinetic in 1/48. This detailing accessory makes it possible to replace the corresponding air intakes from the plastic kit.

The set includes 10 air intakes of three types, each reproduced separately in resin. The openings on the parts provide visible depth, which is particularly interesting on an aircraft as richly equipped and detailed in its airframe as the EA-6B Prowler.

Each part must be removed from its casting block, carefully prepared, and then glued to the intended position on the Kinetic model. A dry fit before gluing helps with precise placement. The resin is worked with precision tools; light sanding of the separation points may be necessary to achieve a clean finish.

Once installed, the air intakes can be painted along with the rest of the fuselage. Applying a primer suitable for resin helps you check the surface preparation before applying paint coats and weathering.
